On this week’s innovation show we talk to pioneer of new forms of media, CEO and founder of the Third Space Agency Andrew Melchior. After a childhood filled with the wonders of building televisions, radios and (primitive) synthesisers with his time served electronics engineer grandfather (ex Royal Corps of Signals), Andrew embarked on a journey to use his passion for electronics, music and art to visualise and create new forms of media. After a passage as Digital Tribal Chief with Magic Leap and a long standing career in music with EMI he now works across multimedia, connecting researchers, inventors, engineers, performers and dynamic digital companies to bring about the 'adjacent possible'. Check out his project Bjork Digital https://www.thirdspace.co/bjork-digital/ We speak to CEO and founder of www.opening.io Andreea Wade. Like Andrew she has a diverse background steeped in coding, design, journalism, event organizing, advertising, marketing and product management. Andreea and opening.io are in the space of Recruitment intelligence, automatically matching talent with job openings. Opening.io uses linguistics algorithms to identify patterns within the structure and phrasing of job posts and CVs, converting them into data points to match candidates to suitable jobs. In short, they built a CV recommender engine.
