It is impossible not to be inspired by what United Response does and especially the extraordinary people who work in this organisation supporting people with learning disabilities and mental health issues. I consider it a privilege to be part of this amazing organisation and contribute in my own small way.
Digital technology is now all around us. It is changing the way we interact and engage with each other. Many things that we saw in futuristic movie scenes a few years ago, are now real and present. I passionately believe that United Response and the people we support can benefit immensely from this new technology. I am excited by the possibilities and look forward to bringing my experience and expertise to realise the opportunities that digital offers.
Satya was co-opted to the United Response Board in 2020.
