Newstalk has launched a new six-part series called Full Steam presented by Jess Kelly.
The new series, which started over the weekend, features hour-long interviews with the most influential women in technology and science in Ireland.

Anne O’Leary, CEO, Vodafone Ireland featured in the first episode of the series. She discussed ditching her femininity at the beginning of her career to fit in, what the loss of her mother taught her about being a leader and why gender equality in the workplace makes perfect business sense.
