Plan A - Episode 2 - 14 Questions About Tech in 2025

Andrey was visiting London and met Alla to catch up on all things tech and record in person. Last time we worked together was over 5 years ago so there was too much to fit into a single episode so we wrote down some questions and drew 14 of them from the deck.

This is part of our collaboration podcast - Plan A, where we compare our notes on technology and leadership. Remember to subscribe to our channel!
