In this episode of Connected & Ready, host Gemma Milne talks with Daniel Coughlin, Director of Data Insights, Systems, and Architecture at the International Rescue Committee (IRC), about the role of technology in the IRC’s work, how they responded to the disruptions of the COVID-19 health crisis, Syria, and Afghanistan, and how he thinks technology will shape the future of organizations like the IRC.
