In this episode, we sit down with Leigh Rathbone, Head of Quality Engineering and one of the UK’s most vocal advocates for forward-thinking tech leadership, with experience at companies like Sony, cinch, and The Very Group.

We explore the dizzying speed of Gen AI advancement, the role of self-development in leadership, and why software testing is a massively underrated career accelerator. Leigh also warns how badly we might be heading for disaster with AI — unless we act fast.

If you’re a founder, technologist, or future leader, this one's a must-listen.
