Ep4 - How failure can lead to success, Sarah Milton-Hunt, National Grid | #REPRESENT

August 22, 2023 • Code First Girls • Episode 4

We were lucky enough to sit down with National Grid’s Chief Information and Digital Officer Sarah Milton-Hunt. As the UK continues the fight against global warming, National Grid is at the centre of decarbonizing the power system. What is Sarah’s perspective on future technology and how it will help us achieve NetZero? We find out.

As a seasoned technology leader, we ask Sarah how diversity in tech teams can be a superpower. She discusses transformational leadership and the environment she has found helps her team to feel psychologically safe, unfearful to fail and truly innovative.

If you’re interested in sustainable tech, working in the energy sector and Sarah’s journey to becoming CDIO, this is the episode for you!

Our interview highlights:
👉 How National Grid setting the tone to help battle climate change over the next 30 years
👉 Why failure builds resilience and how it can lead to success
👉 What it means to be a transformational leader
