This week we were joined by Katie Hester, Content Strategist & Writer at xDesign, and Ian Dowson, Principal at William Garrity Associates Ltd.
Katie has reflected on her move from the world of corporate law to content strategist as she shared her passion for helping clients tell authentic stories. She also touched on the network she has built in Edinburgh after falling in love with the city.
Ian Dowson was our other guest, and as a founding member of SBN it was great to hear his story. After falling into the startup scene in London in 2008 after an international career in finance, Ian has found himself at the forefront of both FinTech and Govtech.
