On cloud 9 to receive an honorary doctorate from Queen's University Belfast. Three words always spring to mind when I think Northern Ireland: grit, innovation, and community words that apply to Queens perfectly. Reflecting on my roots here, I am reminded of the transformative power of education and technology, especially as I go deeper into the opportunities of AI. A special shoutout to Micky Murray, Lord Mayor of Belfast who attended and congratulations to everyone involved in the Belfast Region City Deal at Queen's University Belfast. This initiative is set to bring immense economic and social benefits, creating thousands of jobs and positioning the region as a global investment destination. As I step into my new role, I see firsthand how AI is reshaping industries and enhancing human capabilities. Queen’s University’s commitment to fostering a skilled workforce and embracing technological advancements is truly commendable, especially in areas such as MedTech, Cybersecurity and FinTech. Find out more about our Class of 2024 Honorary Summer Graduates below. An amazing bunch that spans areas such as Cybersecurity, Materials Science, Journalism and much more. 👏👏👏 And special thanks to my mum and dad, husband and best friends from grammar school who helped with the celebration. 🎊 #Innovation #Community #northernireland #Education #FutureOfWork
