In this episode, we dive into the story of Gary Izunwa, the founder of Tangent, who is passionately dedicated to reshaping the landscape of career opportunities. Coming from a low-income background, Gary is deeply committed to ensuring that social context does not dictate one's career and life outcomes. Sharing his insights on the systemic barriers that often hinder people from lower-income backgrounds, Gary highlighted a scary OECD statistic… It takes 5 generations - or 150 years - to move from the bottom 10% of incomes to average income. This reality drives his mission with Tangent, an innovative employee referral platform that leverages video AI and a dynamic marketplace, democratising access to opportunities for all, not just the privileged few. 'The social context you're born into should not determine your career and life outcomes. That's the vision behind Tangent, making employee referrals accessible to everyone.'
