Founder & Host
Since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by technology’s power to make our lives easier, faster, and more enjoyable. Growing up with gadgets like the Nokia 3310 and Apple iPod, I’ve witnessed technology’s evolution firsthand.
Today, I’m a Tech Queen specializing in Behavioral Science, UX Research, and Service Design. I’m passionate about understanding what drives customers using today’s technology. I explore the connections between consumers’ emotions, thoughts, actions, and product preferences using scientific methods.
I launched the “Queens of Tech Podcast” to support more women, women of color, non-binary individuals, and transgender individuals in the tech industry. My aim is to amplify the voices of tech trailblazers worldwide and collaborate with companies, investors, and policymakers to address challenges and opportunities related to Equity, Inclusive Diversity, and Belonging in workplaces. It’s time for change!
"We are facing a huge challenge that must be resolved urgently. In the next few years, tens of thousands of engineers will be needed. At the same time, the number of women working in tech has DECREASED steadily since 2006. Mathematics does not go together, and there is no reason to paint a picture: For us, this is a matter of survival. We must get women into the tech industry, otherwise, we will not have enough staff. But of course, it's about more than filling chairs. We must build companies that reflect the society in which we operate if we want to remain relevant".
PWC "Women in Tech" report key findings:
- Females aren’t considering technology careers as they aren’t given enough information on what working in the sector involves and also because no one is putting it forward as an option to them.
- A lack of female role models is also reinforcing the perception that a technology career isn’t for them. Only 22% of students can name a famous female working in technology. Whereas two-thirds can name a famous man working in technology.
- Over a quarter of female students say they’ve been put off a career in technology as it’s too male-dominated.
- Technology organizations need to highlight how technology is a force for good if they want to attract more females to the sector. Half of females say that feeling like the work they do makes the world a better place is the most important factor when deciding their future career.
