It's rare to meet someone who lights up a room, but imagine someone doing so hundreds of miles away, from another country. That is what it felt like speaking to Dr. Loubna Bouarfa, CEO of AI healthcare company Okra. COVID restrictions meant we could not travel to the UK to meet her in person, but we set up the interview exchanging via email and social media beforehand. When interview D-Day finally came, with Loubna travelling from Cambridge to a London studio, and me on our Lyon set, it felt like I was chatting to an old friend. Part of the reason we clicked is that when we started discussing AI, I asked Loubna what inspired her.
