Ep 5. XRail and the impact of SMEs on the industry, Monica Barbosa

Director of Business development and communications at XRAIL, Monica Barbosa, joins us in the RTM Podcast room to discuss the rail industry from an SME perspective. Monica is a cheerleader for small and medium enterprises and explains how the innovation they can provide are vital to the rail industry.With hosts Emily Rodgers and Ailsa Cowen, the conversation kept flowing here in the RTM podcast room in Manchester as we hear all about the exciting, 7-year XRAIL contract in the Middle East and why the British rail industry stands to learn a lot from it. Do you think HS2 should be a digital solution for a digital age? Monica is here to tell us why the answer is yes and how XRAIL can contribute. Passionate about changing the narrative of rail in the media, Monica highlights the positive aspects of the industry, why its loved by so many people, and why we should start engaging with train spotters. She’s not what you would consider a typical ‘rail bod’, Monica doubles as an Instagram Influencer, but this podcast is all about how SMEs can influence the ever-changing supply chain.  Hosted on Acast.
