Episode Guests
Claire Barrett
Director at APIsFirst
Helping people realise the full potential of application programming interfaces (APIs): as digital products; as ways to create embedded business models; as the vehicle for business / digital / technology collaboration and innovation.
Solving client problems at the busy intersection of strategy planning, systems and platforms overhaul, APIs-as-products, business architecture, digital innovation, and cultural change. Comfortable with high degrees of ambiguity and regularly called on to cut through complexity, and craft the messaging to go along with it.
A systems thinker with wide-ranging experience leading technology, project and consulting teams in industries such as banking, insurance and acute healthcare, across Australia, the UK and Hong Kong.
Committed to the belief that diversity of thought and constructive dialogue is fundamental to challenging cultural norms and ingrained behaviours. Collaborative and pragmatic, I get results through planning and execution discipline; infectious energy; and care for the individual.
An active champion for women in technology and a global lead of Women In APIs.
On the latest Livin’ on the Edge podcast, we took our regular episode in a different direction. Ambassador cares greatly about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the API industry, and we believe it’s important to create spaces and opportunities for all to thrive. We invited Claire Barrett, Director of APIsFirst, to join us on the podcast.
