Voices of Change | Panel Discussion
summary
Claims that remote work drives measurable gains—about a 6% global productivity bump during the pandemic and a ~160% rise in remote roles since 2005—while also causing 3 million fewer women in the labour force. Describes building a Weight Watchers studio + web portal shipped in 11 days with under 100 support incidents, a skyron teleprompter-based system used on commercial shoots, and camera ecosystems (robotic PTZs, hudley director) that auto-track to cut Zoom fatigue and merge broadcast-grade tools into everyday meeting rooms.
