In this episode, Nick is joined by Tania Gandamihardja, Chief Human Resource Officer at BAE Systems, a global leader in defense and security. Together, they explore the future of work – from the growing importance of STEM education to the ethical use of AI in HR.
Tania shares her personal journey from studying chemistry to leading HR at one of the world’s most innovative companies, and how life experiences have shaped her leadership style.
