September At Detective Dots
Quite a bit actually. From our CEO being named as one of Computer Weekly's Most Influential Women in Tech 2017 🎉🎉 to a trip to Paris with EDF to recruit some frenchies to the CIA, we’ve barely had time to complete our missions. Thankfully our CIA operatives are on the job
Latest mission statement from Agent *** (whose identity remains confidential)
Amidst all of this, we’ve added a new face to the team, mainly to ensure that we don’t think LOL means lots of love. In her first week, Savena has been sorting out a bunch of CIA missions and finding a new home for our real CEO (Cuddle Enforcement Officer). And writing newsletters in the third person.
We’re sad to see our comms wizard Arfah leave to complete her Winston Churchill Fellowship, exploring Muslim women in technology. Travelling across America, Pakistan and the UAE, Arfah is meeting movers, shakers and ice-cream-makers (maybe). If you miss Arfah too, you can find her on Facebook, Twitter and Youtubeand can find a cute gif of a Llama here.
Celebrations
A special Eid Mubarak and Shana Tova to everyone. And Good luck to all school starters, whether you’re entering KS1 or teaching year 9s, we wish you a year of reduced homework. Let the uniform-fitting, stationary-hoarding and packed-lunch-trading commence!
