What qualities do you think leaders need to have in today’s world?

Resilience, Flexibility, Ethics, Innovative

If you had to describe your leadership style in one word, what would it be and why?

Dynamic.

How does your company’s Pledge 1% program help shape the kind of workplace culture you believe in?

We support our trainees to give back and volunteer their time to support non-profits with their technology systems to maximise fundraising and impact. We believe giving helps people to gain new experience and skills.

This year marks the 7th year of Pledge 1%’s #WomenWhoLead campaign. How can companies champion and support female leadership?

Introducing new approaches and practices to support the diversity and selection of applicants within the recruitment process will increase the number of women in tech related roles at all levels.

If you could write a note to your younger self on her first day of work, what would it say?

Everyday is a school day. If you don’t know something, go and find out.
