Anna J McDougall

Director of Engineering, TEDx Speaker, Author of "You Belong in Tech"

Anna McDougall has made waves in the tech industry, breaking into software engineering following careers in project management, marketing, and as a professional opera singer (yes, really!). She is passionate about building practical tools with strong impact through people-driven engineering teams, and is a strong believer in "people over process". Additionally, as a technical speaker and a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador, Anna prides herself in taking technical topics and making them easy to understand for people from all walks of life: be it 1-on-1 in the boardroom or on stage speaking to thousands. Her book "You Belong in Tech: How to Go From Zero Programming Experience to Hired" was published in June 2022, and quickly became a #1 Bestselling New Release Career Guide on Amazon. In 2023, she delivered her talk "Finding and Proving Your Value as a Career Changer" for TEDx TU Berlin.
