GHP #4 - Huawei, 5G, and Being a Woman in Tech and Journalism with Shruti Shekar!

Since the tech boom, the use of smartphones and other gadgets have skyrocketed while the valuations of these companies have reached record highs. Technology has created some of our most valuable inventions and, arguably the most wealthiest individuals history has ever seen. However, many of us still do not understand how these companies operate.

Shruti is a seasoned journalist who has covered a wide range of topics from political culture, lobbying, telecom and technology, to the diplomatic community. Her roles have spanned from segment production for CTV News, reporter/editor at The Hill Times, to senior reporter at MobileSyrup. Currently, she spends her time in the tech and telecom sphere as a reporter for Yahoo Finance.

We talk to Shruti about the future of journalism, being a woman in the industry, and how millennials are shifting the use and distribution of content. With her unique perspective in tech and politics, Shruti explains how these two worlds collide and its diplomatic implications as we explore the controversy around 5G and China.

This was a truly riveting conversation that had us on the edge of our seats! We hope you enjoy!
