Adtech Design and Development Leaders | S1 Ep 8 
 

Adtech Design and Development Leaders, hosted by our very own recruitment expert Jakey Bentwood, provides an excellent opportunity for professionals of all levels to learn from thought leaders in the industry. 

 

Discussions will be based around avenues for development, areas of focus, how to speak about project experience, and over time help guide other professionals in their longer-term goals and motivations. 

 

Season 1 Episode 8 | Mission Critical – Understanding Data Center Design 

 

In the 8th episode of the 'Adtech Design and Development Leaders' podcast, Jakey sits down with Kelly Westwood, Architect and Jackson Metcalf, Design Manager, regional leaders of the mission-critical practice of the largest architecture firm in the world, Gensler.
