This week, Emma Weisbord, partnerships lead at Royal HaskoningDHV Digital, joins Will Sarni & Tom Freyberg for a belated birthday chat!
Listen to Emma talk about:
- Being a rising star in the global water sector
- Blockchain, digitalisation, diversity and young professionals in water

- Chairing the Rising Smart Water Professionals Programme for SWAN, the smart water networks forum.

- The importance of the edge effect, including the power of diversity in collaboration.
Plus, Emma calls for an end to people worshipping individuals, such as Elon Musk, when it comes to disrupting industries and explains why we should instead celebrate groups.
And Emma even calls for the Atlantean Media digital content manager, Andrew, to step up to the mic and asked for his take on the future of water in 5 words.
