Talking with Tech Leaders
Talking with... Richard Lennox, former COO of Current Health
If you asked an expert on Scottish tech for a list of the biggest success stories of the past few years, you can bet that Skyscanner (a true Scottish unicorn) and Current Health (sold to US retail giant Best Buy for $400m) would top it. Richard Lennox played a big part in both – working his way up to Senior Director at the former, before joining the latter as Chief Operating Officer.
We were lucky enough to talk to him about the lessons learned, the insights gleaned and his view on the Scottish tech ecosystem. And, as you might expect, he knows his stuff – so strap in for a bumper episode!
He takes us through his own journey in tech, from his formative years in education through to his most recent role. And, as his time with Current Health came to an end since we recorded this episode, he was kind enough to come back and discuss his plans for the future. Sounds like the first few lines of yet another Scottish tech story to us...
