Constantijn van Oranje, special envoy of Techleap, joins me on a special episode of Women Disrupting Tech to discuss a topic that's near to his heart and crucial for the future of tech: making inclusion the new normal.
Key highlights:
- The influence of Neelie Kroes and his late father on his leadership approach.
- How small, targeted interventions can increase diversity awareness.
- The need to promote entrepreneurship in education as a viable alternative to traditional employment.
