The magic you can expect in this episode🪄
Kamales Lardi may not look like a woman who can code. But looks can be deceiving.
At a young age, she decided to ignore the well-intended advice of people around her to pursue a more female-friendly occupation and study computer science instead. Among many other things, she learned how to code.
In episode 19 of Women Disrupting Tech, she talks about her experience as a leader in tech and about how entrepreneurship allowed her to create a balance between being a parent and having a successful career.
We discuss a broad range of topics, including:
🌪️ How Gen-Z could force traditional corporate structures to change.
👩🏼🏫 How founders play a vital role when it comes to the culture of their startup.
📚 Her book “The Human Side of Digital Business Transformation”
Her advice to startup founders (men and women) who want to build a transformative startup: “Don’t focus on building a Tech solution, but on developing a strong value proposition supported by an ecosystem in the market.” 🌟
What makes this episode truly magical 🌟
One of the things I keep hearing about women in tech is that they are discouraged from going into technology by people around them. Technology is still regarded as unsafe.
The same applies to being an entrepreneur. That world is not suitable for women because it’s considered too brutal.
Kamales is living proof that women can be very successful in tech. Provided you find your own path to success.
What I particularly like about the episode is that Kamales, like a good role model, is not shy about sharing her knowledge and experiences with others.
And believe me when I say that she has a lot to share. Like why technology companies need diversity of thought to build transformative solutions.
