Ahead of the launch event, Leaders in Tech sat down with Fin to hear his thoughts. Here’s what he shared.
What made you want to get involved with Leaders in Tech?
I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned, and I’ve been in tech leadership for longer than I care to remember. In fact, I’ve picked up so many scars that my scars have scars! So maybe I can help seasoned, new and aspiring leaders steer clear of the same pitfalls I ran into during my career.
Could you tell us a bit more about your talk at the Leaders in Tech launch event?
I’ve chosen to cover what it may take to become a leader, how to lead well, and what the future of tech leadership looks like (in my view). I haven’t settled on a title yet!
What would you like people to take away from your talk?
Not everyone agrees with my ideas, but I hope to get people thinking and spark a lively debate.
What would you like to see Leaders in Tech accomplish in the short and long term?
I’m a firm believer in communities. In the short term, I can see the community taking shape and building a leadership network. Over the longer term, it will be about sharing real experiences, exchanging advice and passing on potential opportunities — all within a trusted, non-judgemental support system.
What does a typical day look like for you?
These days there’s no such thing as a typical day! I’m either working with clients to shape or repair their digital transformations, speaking at conferences, giving interviews, writing content, running workshops or travelling around the world.
Are you working on anything exciting right now that you’d like to share?
My co-author Haydn and I are about to release our third book, on value-based agility. We also have a fourth book in its early stages, due out near the end of the year.
