From studying biology and psychology at university, working as a primatologist in the jungles and rainforests of Central Africa and Brazil to discovering the power of statistics at the Office for National Statistics, these experiences gave her important transferrable skills that saw her playing a key role in the UK Government’s Covid response. Johanna recently sat down with Madeline Bennett for ComputerWeekly.com to chat about her fascinating career so far, the ever increasing importance of interoperability and diversity in data and why the defence sector is well placed to drive significant progress in the field.
