Welcome to DIGEST the regular newsletter for Innovation Thinking. You may have noticed that we have altered the frequency. We took feedback from our recent survey and are now sending the newsletter once a month rather than once a week.
This week we feature the last episode in our - iTHINK Podcast series where where we are asking the question "Do You Have A Start Up In You?"
In this our seventh episode we talk to Omar Khalifa. Omar started his career working as an engineer with NASA at the Kennedy Space Centre, he went on to Apple, HP and then working at the World Bank and the Centre for Sustainability in Geneva. After working all over the world he landed in Sydney and today he is the CEO of iAccelerate, an incubator and accelerator for the startup community.
Also if you haven't already listened do check out episode 6 with Joanna Bloor. Joanna is CEO and Founder of the Amplify Lab, she is on the board of Women Entrepreneurs Global and was a board member of Leading Women in Technology for 6 years.
See you next month.
