In the very first episode of the Life at Sage podcast, we speak to Vicky Rowland, who recruits Graduates, Interns, and Apprentices at Sage.

Vicky details how her own early career experience almost came to a halt after becoming pregnant a few short weeks into her university education. But that’s just the beginning of the story.

We hear how she triumphed in the face of adversity due to her sheer doggedness in making her career happen. Not to mention how Sage empowers people from all walks of life and backgrounds into their early careers—lifting the barriers on entries into the technology sector for people who may have gone through similar experiences.

Jump in and hear Vicky’s whole inspirational story.
