This episode of the Product 51 podcast sees Adrienne Howlett speaking with Remko Vermeulen, VP of Product.

Adrienne talks to Remko about his passion for all things innovation within. Remko works for an organisation which the team at Product 51 love! A product which is using technology, data science with improving mental health.

Launched to day after World Mental Health day. This episode is a fantastic way to highlight the way technology can be used and harnessed by organisations who want to fundamentally help people. However, it's Remko's passion for innovation and the story of how this has been used through his career that we think really makes this episode standout. 

Remko also provides a really useful insight which those looking to get into Product as he makes it clear there is no one direct route into Product.

A fascinating story, insight and conversation as always, so sit back and enjoy.
