Her thoughts on Open: Open is about revolutionizing the way we think about, and use, data and technology across industries and sectors. Shifting to an Open mindset presents unprecedented value that would not otherwise be achievable. Whether we want to govern our own personal data or develop a global climate solution – Open can help do so. The possibilities are endless we just need to be willing to explore them.
