🌟 Excited to be part of the Female Future Week x T-Systems! 🌟 The Female Future Week is a digital event connecting female innovators with company representatives to drive innovation, collaboration, and empowerment. I’m part of the DACH Team, and my focus is on how we can use embodiment and movement to create real systemic change. Movement is more than physical—it’s a tool for aligning ourselves and the systems we’re part of. A huge thanks to ekipa & T-Systems International for organizing this event. Special thanks to Lidia Welldeabzghi, Justin Gemeri, Nico Heby, Nicole Berg. Let’s create a future of resilience, connection, and transformation. #FemaleFutureWeek #innovation #systemicchange #embodiment #femaleleaders

Three Ways IT Teams and Staff Technology Champions Can Collaborate Association technology teams are seeing a boost in the number of non-tech staffers finding solutions to their IT problems. Knowing that, organizations must create a culture and process where all staff have a way to bring their ideas to the table. https://lnkd.in/gHkKw6Gs

As I look back on the work we’ve done with Women in Tech for Harris, I’m reminded that the journey to real change is anything but straightforward. It often feels like climbing a mountain—sometimes with more obstacles than expected and moments that challenge us to our core. We’ve reached a steep point, a wall we can’t scale alone. To move forward, we need tools, allies, and a deeper understanding of ourselves. This isn’t about “us vs. them” but about “we”—building a world where we learn from each other, rather than echoing only what we know. I’m more committed than ever to working with people from diverse perspectives and championing the values that brought our coalition together: education, equality, innovation, diversity, independence, democracy, authenticity, opportunity, community, representation, women’s rights, healthcare, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship. These are the building blocks of a future where we all can thrive. In a time when it’s easy to create echo chambers, I want to foster connections that challenge and broaden our views. For me, every day needs to be driven by purpose, with the hope of making a meaningful difference for the people I share this earth with. Sometimes the universe nudges us gently; other times, it pushes with force. Either way, I’m listening—and ready to climb this next summit with all of you. #leadership #community #womenintech #equality #passiondrivenwork

As we mark International Women's Day, let's pause and imagine a world without the incredible contributions of women. It's a scenario that quickly unravels into a less innovative, less safe, and frankly, less interesting reality. Women have been at the forefront of revolutionary inventions that not only enhance our daily lives but also safeguard and enrich them profoundly. Windscreen Wipers: Clearing the Path for Safe Travels 🚗💦 Ever thought about the genius behind windscreen wipers? Invented by Mary Anderson in 1903, this device transformed driving in inclement weather from a hazard to a mere inconvenience, showcasing the impact of female innovation on our everyday comfort and safety. The Medical Syringe: Revolutionising Healthcare One Dose at a Time 💉 Thanks to Letitia Geer in 1899, the medical syringe can be operated with one hand, dramatically improving the administration of medicine. It's a prime example of how women's ingenuity has been a cornerstone in advancing healthcare and patient welfare. Kevlar: The Fibre That Saves Lives 🛡️ Stephanie Kwolek's invention of Kevlar in 1965, a material five times stronger than steel and used in bulletproof vests, is nothing short of lifesaving. It's a testament to the groundbreaking contributions of women to fields that protect and serve humanity. Home Security Systems: Fostering Safety and Peace of Mind 🏠🔒 Marie Van Brittan Brown's pioneering work in 1966 laid the groundwork for modern home security systems, allowing individuals to feel safer in their homes. Her invention is a pivotal moment in the evolution of household safety, illustrating the profound societal impact of women's innovations. In commemorating International Women's Day, it's crucial to recognise not just the social and cultural contributions of women but also the technological and scientific advancements they've gifted the world. The inventions mentioned are but a snapshot of the endless list of contributions made by women. So here's to celebrating the inventors, the innovators, and the irreplaceable forces of nature that women are. Their work touches every aspect of our lives, making the unimaginable not only conceivable but achievable. Let's raise our glasses (or coffee cups) to the women who not only make the world go round but also make it a better place for all of us. Cheers to the power of women's ingenuity this International Women's Day! 🥂🚀 #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInSTEM #Innovation #Empowerment
