135: The Future of Work with Dr. Sankar Venkatraman

Sophie Alcorn Podcast

In this week’s Immigration Law for Tech Startups podcast, I am joined by Dr. Sankar Venkatraman. With over 14 years of leadership roles in Product Marketing, he is now a global workforce expert who built and managed award-winning marketing programs.

A global evangelist for LinkedIn, Dr. Venkatraman educates us on, not only workplace transformation but also digital transformation with the role of AI. He also talks about the big shift to this portfolio career in the future of work, where the average Gen Z will have 12 to 14 careers, not jobs. You can be an immigration advocate, while also being a podcaster. An artist could, at the same time be a dance instructor, or have a job at a corporate company.
