We have a *very* special guest for our season finale, and that is Martha Lane Fox, cofounder of lastminute.com. Martha, nicknamed the ‘dotcom dinosaur’ by the press thanks to her lengthy career in tech, sits on the board of Chanel, WeTransfer, the British Chambers of Commerce and previously sat on the board of X (Twitter). She is also cofounder of karaoke bar chain Lucky Voice, and chancellor of the Open University. We talk about her experiences leading at some of the world’s biggest companies, why the issues around the lack of women in tech still pervade, despite two decades of her spearheading change, and we touch on the accident that meant she was still hospitalised while the sale of lastminute.com went through for £577 million.
