Dr Maria G Vigliotti, who is a leading expert in computing with a vast experience in security, cryptography and blockchains, joined our show to discuss the underlaying technology of Blockchain, it's applications and how a business could approach deciding whether Blockchain is the right choice for their business. Maria also shared inspirational advice and tips that encourage and promote diversity within the crypto and technology space overall. We discussed Maria's recently published book called “The Executive Guide to Blockchain: Using Smart Contracts and Digital Currencies in your Business”, which appears to be a must-have guide for anyone, and it could be applied to any industry, and arm you with the knowledge needed to capture the possibilities of digital businesses. ----- You can find our more about Maria’s book more here ----- You can find out more about Maria’s Sandblocks Consulting project here  ----- If you are interested in mentorship or want to get in touch with Maria please contact her on LinkedIn  ------ Cointelligence Academy Check our website for latest updates and free Blockchain courses Join our Telegram group and start meeting people in Blockchain and Crypto Follow us on  Twitter ------ If you are interested in sponsoring the show or have any other questions, please feel free to drop me an email on: lora@cointelligence.com
