In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers with Rebecca Parsons — Board Member, Author, Speaker, and Former CTO Emerita of Thoughtworks!
As a long-term tech devotee, Rebecca has left her mark across academia, government research, nonprofits, startups, manufacturing, and massive enterprises. She’s a passionate advocate for programming languages, AI, and evolutionary computation — all while keeping her feet firmly planted in the ever-evolving tech community.

- 🔍 Balancing fairness and profit in data collection (and the risks of using proxies for race, gender, and religion)
- 🌍 Performative DEI, personal values, and advice to future selves
- 🔑 The future of the CTO role: will we see more combined CTO/product roles?
- 🤖 Continuous Delivery and DORA Metrics: transforming deployment practices
- 💡 The value of saying “I don’t know” in a constantly changing world
