If you have ever felt overwhelmed yet knowing you are unstoppable, this is for you. If you are at crossroads and trying to figure out your next move, this is for you too.
I have shared several times on stage and in my writings that I shifted from law to tech many years ago.
My career pivot was a game-changer. What looked like a detour became an assignment. It’s the kind of elevation story that shifts rooms and mindsets.
Imagine making the decision to transition into tech with a law degree and zero coding skills?
Yeah, that’s me.
Self-taught front-end developer (back in the day).
The ability to build visual and interactive web applications with my team and meet deadlines was excitingly refreshing.
From Law to Woman in Tech in Europe
In tech, I consulted in top corporations in European cities such as Amsterdam, Zurich, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Brussels. I lived and worked in countries where I didn’t know anyone except my colleagues.
I figured out [and implemented] a strategy that guided me successfully throughout my sojourn across Europe. It taught me how to thrive in the unknown.
Was the global mobility and career shift easy at the beginning? No but I did it! I packed my stuff, left my comfort zone (London, England), and ventured into the unfamiliar.
- Across Europe.
- Alone.
- No safety net.
- No guarantees.
- Just grit, strategy, grace, mercy and unshakable faith.
Next Stop, New York
Several years later, I made another transformational shift – from Europe to the US.
Now I help organizations build digital trust at scale, implement AI governance as a business asset and tackle risks so that they don’t become negative headlines. My expertise includes guiding c-suite executives, high performing women and enterprise teams through organizational change, equipping them with strategies and structure to lead decisively and deliver results.
Where Do I Speak?
Women’s conferences invite me to ignite bold leadership, implement goals and equip about navigating unfamiliar terrain.
Tech and AI summits bring me in to decode the human side of cybersecurity.
C-suites book me to educate, and help teams shift from overwhelmed to focused, productive and unstoppable.
If you want change to happen, be unflinching and confident in your next move. Nobody really wants to follow a leader who isn’t moving. Progress is enticing. Accomplished results accompanied by impact are even better.
