In this episode of Be & Think in the House of Trust, I am speaking with Zoe Peden.
Zoe has a background in publishing, social entrepreneurship and health tech.
I love that back in 2010, she co-founded an assistive technology company that’s helped over 100,000 people lead more independent lives.
Social mobility is also a topic she holds dear.
Zoe comes from a working-class family and with 20 years of experience in operating technology companies and making board decisions, she is now a Partner at Ananda Impact Ventures.
