Episode 09: Genevieve Bell, Intel’s Anthropologist

http://www.crushpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Genevieve-Bell.mp3

As a full-time anthropologist at Intel (recruited at a bar in Palo Alto off the faculty at Stanford), Genevieve Bell has a job that makes a lot of us go, “Wow...what’s that?” She sits at the intersection between anthropology and computer science, and as such, a big part of what she does is to help her company – and by extension us – understand the future to come, and our place as humans in an increasingly technological and data-driven world. Relative to the mission of this podcast, I was really interested to learn about the intersection between seemingly disparate disciplines in creating a job that earned her a place among Fast Company’s “100 Most Creative People in Business,” and placed her ideas into publications like the Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Wired, Forbes, The Atlantic, and more.

She also has one of the top 10 laughs of all my 9 interview subjects thus far. In fact, I might place her at a tie for the top spot with Siva Kumari.
