0221 - Local Impact, Global Reach with Joe Dowling

Our hosts today are Clare Mustapha and Akanksha Aravinda. 

Welcome to today’s interview: 

Today we’re talking with Joe Dowling, Chief Technology Officer at Sidero, a GlobalLogic Company. 

·       To start Joe, could you tell us a little about your career and introduce us to Sidero and Globallogic? 

·       What key lessons have you learned about managing outsourced/offshored delivery models? [e.g. Managing remote/offshore teams, what strategies have you found most effective for ensuring cohesive teamwork and productivity across different locations?] 

·       Can you talk about the impact that Sidero has had on Athlone, and maybe the value of setting up in a region as opposed to the capital? 

·       How has Sidero's acquisition by GlobalLogic changed things? [in terms of service offerings, access to new technologies, global reach, etc? What new opportunities has it created?] 

·       Can you share your thoughts on how Generative AI technologies are impacting software service firms? [opportunity, threat, same ‘ole]? 

·       Reflecting on your long experience working in software services and technology, what advice would you give to us as Digital Innovation students? 

·       Any final thoughts?  

Thank you for finding the time to talk to us today.
