Synopsis
In this inspiring talk, a seasoned woman in technology shares her journey from early-career contributor to influential industry leader. Beginning her career as a software developer, she navigated a rapidly evolving sector, consistently carving out space for innovation, resilience, and strategic growth. Her path led her into the emerging fields of artificial intelligence and Venture Mapping, where she discovered new ways to empower organisations through intelligent systems, data‑driven insight, and human‑centred design.
Now at the forefront of b.13, an ambitious and fast‑growing startup, she plays a pivotal role in shaping cutting‑edge AI solutions and guiding product development from concept to real‑world impact. Her story highlights the importance of self‑advocacy, continuous learning, and building strong networks—especially for women striving to progress in the technology landscape.
Through practical lessons, personal reflections, and a forward‑looking perspective on the future of AI and software innovation, she offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to drive their own progression and lead with confidence in the tech industry.
