What this episode covers
Not all digital innovations and new tech is developed by folks working out of their garages. Sometimes, the next start-up that’s waiting to happen is being developed within an existing organization – even a big, global one. What matters is having an entrepreneurial mindset that combines invention, business acumen and zeal for the customer and solving their problems, and approaching all of that like an owner. Hence, the rise of the intrapreneur. On this episode of If/When our guests are two gentlemen from Jacobs who are part of the team behind Alluvial, a new data insights solution that they run like a start-up business: Alex Mahrou, Director of Incubation for Data & Technology and Alluvial Product Manager, and David Yardy, Software Architect.
