Kassir Hussain, Director of Connected Homes at British Gas
Kass joined British Gas in 2012 having previously worked at Sky and Telefonica in software development and innovation. It’s no surprise that Kass spends his weekend’s geeking over the latest tech. He loves photography and had he not gone into tech, he may well have been a photojournalist.
Tent London hosts #TechableTalks at Second Home, a series of talks to promote the city's creativity during London Design Festival. Drawing on the country's greatest thinkers, practitioners and retailers, the talks, sponsored by Hive, will be an unmissable celebration of tech-enabled design.
