My devices iPhone, AirPods, Facebook Portal and Satellite Navigation (I have no sense of direction).
My tech dos and don'ts "I try to be open to new ways to connect and communicate, I want to experience all the innovation that technology provides and then be choiceful about what I do and don’t continue to use. From the time I come home from work, until when my three children go to bed, I try to keep my phone packed away."
My tech guilty pleasures "Shopping on Instagram. It's no longer a special occasion, it's a hobby for me and a guilty pleasure that I enjoy when the kids are in bed at night. I love the serendipitous nature of scrolling through Instagram and seeing the the things I never knew I wanted or needed, from new businesses I've never seen before. I love podcasts – Hidden Brain by NPR; Here’s The Thing by Alec Baldwin and Unravel from the ABC."
You might expect one of Instagram's most important executives in Asia Pacific to be something of a power poser herself, but truth be told Naomi Shepherd would rather her phone helped her to keep her real life in order, rather than to portray a fake perfect one to her followers.
As a group director for both Facebook and Instagram, she is one of the driving forces behind a big push for Instagram to replicate its US success across Asia. She is also a big believer in the power of technology to help her get the best out of her hectic personal and professional life.
