Our guest this week is Professor Sue Black OBE whose extraordinary contribution to technology, and commitment to empowering women to feel confident with it, propelled her astonishing career path out of poverty, to become one of the most influential women in tech in the UK, saving the Bletchley Park home of the WWII code breakers (the majority of them women), along the way.More about Sue here on her website https://sueblack.co.uk/ and her Twitter feed https://twitter.com/Dr_Black and her book 'Saving Bletchley Park' https://www.amazon.co.uk/Saving-Bletchley-Park-socialmedia-codebreakers/dp/1908717920For more about Tanya https://www.tanyagoodin.com and https://www.t
