Work Background
Head of Engineering
Spotted ZebraHead of Engineering
Apr. 2023 - Jul. 2024Spotted Zebra is helping the world's largest companies solve the skills-gap crisis. The World Economic Forum describes the crisis as one of the biggest challenges of our time, second only to climate change. It's a $11.5 trillion dollar issue that's having a greater impact on world economies than COVID-19. To survive, enterprises are becoming skills-based organisations. But most are failing because they lack the right tools. Spotted Zebra changes that! At Spotted Zebra, we power the skills based organisation through our workforce management platform, enabling clients to put skills at the heart of their talent decisions and to start where the need is - whether that's hiring, succession planning, learning or reskilling.
