S6 E4 Jim Hogan Former Google Cloud's Chief Innovation Evangelist
Thursday, 6 November, 2025
This week on Strategy Bites, I’m joined by someone who genuinely redefines what it means to think differently.Jim Hogan has spent over forty years at the forefront of technology, innovation and leadership, and he just happens to be autistic.He was the Chief Innovation Evangelist at Google Cloud and the Vice President of Accessibility in Technology for Google’s Disability Alliance.Through his work, research and powerful TED Talk, Jim has become one of the most authentic and inspiring voices for neuroinclusion in business.In this episode, Jim shares how his autistic lens has shaped his life and career, the challenges, the brilliance and the occasional chaos, and why he believes neuroinclusion isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do for any organisation that wants to innovate.We talk about what leaders can do to create truly inclusive workplaces, how introverts and neurodistinct thinkers can be heard in rooms full of extroverts, and how embracing difference drives better ideas, better teams and better outcomes.Oh, and yes, we get to the story behind the Rubik’s Cube.So whether you’re leading a team, hiring for one, or just curious about how diverse thinking fuels innovation, you’ll want to stick around for this one.Jim Hogan's Ted Talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJrRnyNwm00
