It is estimated that up to 15% of the UK population are neurodiverse! So shouldn’t we be doing more to help support neurodiverse employees?

Neurodiversity refers to the differences in the human brain and cognition. In other words, we’re not all wired the same way. Neurodiversity can include Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette’s and many more.

In this episode, we’re joined by Carlene Jackson, CEO, Cloud9 Insight, as we take a look into neurodiversity, how employees can harness their super powers and what more organisations can do to support their neurodivergent employees.

Carlene is the CEO of Brighton-based digital transformation consultancy, Cloud9 Insight, which she founded in 2010. It is a Microsoft Gold Partner that has provided more that 800 UK businesses with cloud-based CRM software systems.

Carlene has over 25 years working in the tech and software industry, is and active speaker on D&I topics and advises Parliament on apprenticeships and training.

A serial entrepreneur, Carlene established her first business aged 17. She was named as one of Real Business Magazine’s Top 25 SME Culture Leaders of 2019, as well as one of the Top 10 Female Tech Entrepreneurs to Watch by About Time Magazine.
