In this episode of BEST Alumni Podcast we talk with Nadina Busuioc about her work in data science and ambition to apply her experience for greater good. Nadina tells us about her 12-year long career at Procter & Gamble, how it is to be a woman in a male-dominated field and how Aspen Young Leaders Program helped her start a new project with the goal of doing something for society.

In the very first episode of BEST Alumni Podcast we talk to Joao Rei about hackathons as tools for innovation. He shares how he got to his current occupation which sort of resembles the days in BEST: he travels and organises events. The difference being this time he gets paid to do it. We also touch upon parenthood, the future of jobs and the potential of the network of BEST alumni.
