I am thrilled to be presenting at the partner summit at Engage London this week! As I prepare for this exciting event, I can't help but reflect on the incredible power of strategic partnerships in driving business success. In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, no business can thrive in isolation. It's through collaborating with like-minded partners that we can truly unlock our full potential and achieve exponential growth. I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of partnerships both with my own clients and the companies I have worked for. By combining our expertise and resources, we've been able to: • Streamline our workflows and increase productivity • Deliver innovative solutions that exceed our clients' expectations • Expand our reach and tap into new markets • Foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement This partner summit is more than just an event – it's a testament to the strength and vitality of partner ecosystems. It's a chance to come together with brilliant minds, share best practices, and explore new opportunity for collaboration. As I gear up for an inspiring week of learning and networking, I'm excited to make new connections and deepen existing partnerships. When we work together, there's no limit to what we can achieve. Here's to the power of partnerships, the synergy of collaboration, and the boundless potential of what we can accomplish together! #PartnerSummit #StrategicPartnerships #CollaborationOverCompetition #UnlockingPotential #TogetherWeThrive

So excited for #WomenInTechWeek !! As I have recently stepped into my first role as a software engineer at Savient Limited, Women in Tech Week feels more important than ever. For someone like me, just beginning a professional journey after years of dedication in education, this week serves as both a celebration and a call to action. It’s a celebration of the amazing women who have paved the way in this industry—women whose stories inspire me to keep pushing forward. But it’s also a time to ask myself: 🔍 How can I connect with more role models? While I’ve worked hard to get here, I know there’s so much more to learn. I’m eager to meet women who have walked this path before me and can offer guidance, advice, and mentorship as I navigate the challenges ahead. 💡 What can I do to build a supportive network that fosters my personal growth? In tech, growth isn’t just about coding—it’s about learning how to collaborate, innovate, and advocate for yourself and others. I want to find a community where we lift each other up, especially as women in a male-dominated space. 🌍 How can I start learning to advocate for inclusion? A huge part of my growth will be understanding how to use my voice to advocate for a more inclusive tech space. How can I contribute to making tech more welcoming for all women, especially those from diverse backgrounds? Women in Tech Week is more than just an event—it’s a reminder that none of us are alone in this journey. I’m excited to keep learning, growing, and connecting with others who share the same passion for tech and inclusivity. Let’s keep building a future where all women can thrive! 💪 #WomenInTech #SoftwareEngineer #PersonalGrowth #InclusionInTech #Networking #WomenInSTEM #DiversityInTech #CareerJourney

Thrilled to join Drew Neisser's CMO Huddles in London today. WIth fellow panelists, my good mate Sion Lewis CEO CiPHR, and Amanda St L Jobbins CMO Vodafone Business (someone who I have heard so much about over the years but never met) The panel discussion discussed the somewhat delicate relationship between CMO and CEO in tech businesses and how instrumental this is for a CMO to do their job well. Based on alignment with and deep understanding of the goals and motivations of their CEO (which are sometimes not as apparent as you might think) and the business. We also touched on the differences in approaches to marketing in the US and Europe. US software firms are more prepared to build an expansive vision and "story" in the early stages of the business and grow into it, compared to a rather more humble approach in Europe, where the story and message are often smaller than the business and lag behind. Building big companies needs a "big" vision. We should be bolder! CMO Huddles is a US based networking community for technology CMOs, just building a London chapter. Highly recommended, anyone interested DM Drew (he's the one with a Penguin on his head)!

These days we are all hyper-connected so having a strong digital presence is no longer just an option—it's a necessity. Our online profiles play a huge role in shaping the way we're perceived and the opportunities that come our way. It's hard to keep up with new techniques and ever-changing algorithms. If we're not actively building and curating our online footprint, we risk falling behind. This applies to Family Offices as well which have been traditionally shrouded in secrecy. The need to raise public profiles is increasingly essential to attract top talent and align with like-minded partners. We've witnessed this shift firsthand at Family Office List, where we've seen a surge in family offices recognizing the importance of accurate profiles reflecting their values and investment mandates. Thankfully we are not alone in figuring out the best way to build our digital presence and ensure it is working in our favor. Join us TOMORROW for an insightful Masterclass featuring Sameer Somal, CEO at Blue Ocean Technologies, LLC, where he will teach the art of creating a compelling digital presence and strategies for its protection. I hope to see you at the Masterclass! ✅ REGISTER HERE: https://lnkd.in/e7hbm2ud
