Leaders in CleanTech: The Podcast – with Rubina Singh of Octopus Ventures – February 2023
Our Board Member, Rubina Singh, Principal at Octopus Ventures, spoke to David Hunt at Hyperion Executive Search for the latest episode of their Leaders in Cleantech podcast.
Full of fascinating insights and stories, Rubina talks about her role in deeptech developments and investing in cleantech, and looks in her crystal ball at the technology and climate solutions that are exciting her.
But she is clear that we can’t address the challenges ahead if we continue to fish from the traditional talent pool, which means addressing the “shocking” under-representation of women in industry.
Check out her actionable tips for organisations on how to cultivate female talent and create more inclusive cultures. She also looks at the powerful role the investment community can play in supporting female founders and start-ups, with significant economic benefits. “One really positive pitch session I was at was when they pitched the technology, they pitched the team and they pitched the diversity of the team – and how important it was in growing the company.”
