Topic of Main Talk - Leadership Against The Grain
Leadership in the technology world is often focussed around innovation, speed, and delivery—but at its core, it’s about people. In this talk, I’ll share my personal journey to leadership as a woman in IT, reflecting on the challenges, turning points, and values that shaped the way I lead today.
Central to my approach is the belief that trust and respect are not just nice-to-haves—they are the foundation of any truly effective team. I’ll explore the impact of leading by serving, creating space for others to thrive, and being genuinely invested in the growth of those around you. Whether you’re building your leadership path or supporting others on theirs, this talk is about showing up with authenticity, believe, and a commitment to lifting others as you lead.
