Session: How women can lead with impact in IT?
Women in technology have the power to drive innovation, foster inclusive cultures, and redefine leadership. In my talk, I would like to narrate my career path where I started 13 years ago as an enthusiastic junior engineer to IT Chapter Lead now and the challenges that I have faced and how I overcame them as a Women in Tech. I would like to emphasize that by cultivating deep expertise, making informed strategic decisions, and actively advocating for diversity, women in technology can break barriers and drive meaningful changes. There could be moments of self-doubt and times when growth opportunities seemed out of reach, but by staying resilient, seeking mentorship, and continuously upskilling in tech, women can navigate these challenges and step ahead in their career.If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that leadership is not about titles it’s about impact. If I could navigate this journey, so can you!

- If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that leadership is not about titles it’s about impact. If I could navigate this journey, so can you!
Bio
I am an experience software engineer and people manager with more than 13 years of experience in software development and maintenance, and team management. I completed my Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering and started my career as a software developer, and have worked with diverse teams in the United States, Europe, and Asia. I am always fueled by my passion to continuously learn and leverage the latest technologies available to bring out the best. I am married to someone who encourages me in every step I take and has a 5-year-old daughter who inspires me every day with her new perspectives. I believe that creativity in the workplace is the key to success—a concept I live out through my interests in board games, painting, and cooking.
