Episode 26: The Intersection of Culture and Security with Hazel Olivier

In this podcast, we talk to Hazel Olivier, the CTO of Nimbla, a company serving medium-sized organizations' financial well-being (through insuring their invoices). Hazel has been instrumental in leading Nimbla's platform's modernization while strengthening its robustness. Thus, allowing Nimbla to offer a much-needed self-service financial lifeline 24/7. In the podcast, we look at how Hazel has been spearheading her career in the tech industry ,as well as her passion for security and working with remote teams with differing cultural communication styles. An important set of subjects in a global and interconnected world we all operate in. Key takeaways from the podcast are: • Security! Security! Security! Stop making it an afterthought -- bake it in from the beginning. • Awareness around some of the holes you could be creating in your security walls. • Leading in tech as a woman. • The cultural nuances when it comes to the UK, South Africa, and India.
