2025 Workplace Leaders Top 50 #1 | Pleun van Deurssen, Toyin Aderiye, Fionnuala Byrne & Cat How
The Workplace Event's Workplace Leaders Top 50 awards are in their third year, and the Geeks were honoured to, once again, speak to the winners. Each of this year’s four special episodes feature small but perfectly formed chats with four winners.
We ask each guest the same questions to learn about their career, how they got into the workplace sector, how it's changed, what it could do better, and what advice they have for new folks and those aspiring to advance their workplace careers. These are human stories, personal anecdotes and revealing conversations into what these workplace leaders are thinking.
To kick things off, we’ve got one academic I’ve never met before, Pleun van Deurssen, one I’ve known for almost 10 years, Dr Toyin Aderiye, one leader who’s spent almost 20 years at one of the most influential tech companies on the planet, Fionnuala Byrne, and finally one who’s involvement in the workplace sector is more peripheral, but whose own workplace embraces some radical ideas, Cat How.
Huge thanks to Matt Fogg and MAKO Commercial Interiors for providing the booth at the show to enable us to record there.
