The Digital Accessibility Podcast – Amy Low

In this episode of The Digital Accessibility Podcast, Joe James is joined by Amy Low, CEO of AbilityNet, a UK charity that has been transforming lives through technology for over 25 years.

Amy shares her unexpected journey into accessibility, moving from a career in commercial property and global operational leadership into the charity sector, where she now leads an organisation dedicated to making the digital world more inclusive.

We discuss:

• A non-traditional path into accessibility: How Amy’s career in sales, operations, and transformation shaped her approach to leadership at AbilityNet.
• Empowering individuals and organisations: The role AbilityNet plays in supporting both disabled people and businesses to remove digital barriers.
• Embedding inclusion beyond products: Why accessibility is as much about people and culture as it is about technology.
• Opportunities in inclusive hiring and training: Where Amy sees the most potential for lasting change in the workplace.
• The impact of accessibility work: Practical ways to create measurable, positive outcomes for communities and organisations.

This conversation offers a unique perspective from a leader who bridges commercial insight with social impact, showing how accessibility can be embedded at every level of an organisation.
