Hi, I’m Kitti.
I guide and mentor leaders, with a passion for focusing on Women in Tech, and teams to build inclusive, sustainable Tech ecosystems where people and technology grow together.
About Me
I’m a Senior Manager in IT & Technical Programs, with experience working with industry giants like Selfridges and TransPerfect, scaling companies like Grover, Glovo, and Paack, as well as (pre)seed start-ups like Guud Woman and AllWomen.
Over the past decade, I’ve learned that innovation and openness are key to the evolution of the industry. But with women being underrepresented and not reaching leadership levels, or dropping out of Tech at alarming rates, we are losing invaluable talent. And, I’m on a mission to change that. I help women in cross-functional roles to become the bold, authentic leaders they truly are. We need more women to steer the ship in Tech.
I’m also an enthusiastic runner, minimalist interior design passionate, tea-lover and mentor for Women in Tech.
