From representing global IT leader IBM in Cabinet Office meetings, to jumping on emergency calls with retailers when the tills went down in her local supermarket (yes, really) – Janine Cook, former IBM Vice President and one of the UK’s top 100 most influential IT leaders, shares defining moments from her 37-year career in tech.

Welcome to the very first episode of The IT Naturally Podcast – where we explore how IT can be a genuine force for good.

Every month, our co-founder Julie Bishop will be joined by IT leaders, digital changemakers, and purpose-driven organisations to uncover how technology is being used for good – from transforming teams to tackling social challenges.

In this episode:
• What happens when the tills go down in Waitrose…
• How rival tech companies worked together to support the NHS
• Why the mainframe is still quietly running the world
• Life after IBM – charity boards, TEDx, swimming, and golf

We’re also asking every guest:
💡 What’s the technological development that’s had the most profound effect on society?
Janine’s answer might surprise you.
