"Ecstatic to receive an invitation to WomenTech Network’s exclusive event with The Coca-Cola Company. After 100,000 people - me included - attended the WomenTech virtual conference, it was a blast seeing so many talented women in one place.
I was particularly moved by Boryana Gerasimova’s presentation. She is brilliant, her story is raw & genuine, and she brings it forward with grace and courage, even if she is hesitant to attribute courage to herself. It was a pleasure hearing about your dedication. It was lovely meeting so many wonderful people." - Danitsa Kostova, Backend Developer at SAP
