What inspires you most about the world of tech?
That change happens fast and is inevitable!
Can you give us a brief summary of what your role is?
My role is that of spearheading the promotion of the tech sector at a national level and to seek sectorial growth both internally within our economy and by attracting foreign direct investment.
Throughout your studies and career, did you ever feel your gender made a difference in your’s and others’ perceptions or with your relationships with your colleagues?
No, I have never felt that gender made a difference.
Why do you think many women don’t opt for a career in tech?
It’s a blend between a conscious choice because they are interested in other sectors or because the topic was not promoted enough at a younger age. However, I believe that any girl who develops a passion for ICT/engineering or other tech related subjects can succeed and have a very fruitful career.
Small message to all those young girls wondering whether a career in tech would be a good choice for them.
Be the change you want to see, with a career in tech you can change the world.
