So to begin the series, I’ve managed to lure onto the show a very successful impact entrepreneur who has built, run and sold a social impact technology business, which very actively promotes neurodiverse employment and has a particular focus on the health sector.

Rachel Murphy is the inspiring founder and CEO of award-winning digital services company Difrent.

The social impact mission of the team at Difrent is to ensure that public services truly meet the needs of the people they are intended to serve. Difrent has a diverse workforce and diversity is baked into all that they do. The array of national projects that they deliver includes the NHS jobs platform and a platform to help former prisoners with reintegration into society.

Rachel’s career has always been in technology, much of it in the public sector and latterly as Digital Delivery Director for the NHS. As such, she is very involved in health tech and is an advisor and non-exec director to some exciting healthtech startups.

She has very recently been named in the Inspiring Fifty – a group of female role models who are increasing diversity in the technology sector.
