Members’ testimonials
Ladies in tech is one of the communities I’m currently involved the most. I joined this almost at the very beginning, and since that met new friends, peers to discuss professional topics at high level of experience and ladies of a very diverse backgrounds to learn from.

I am happy to be a part of Ladies Who Tech - the community where active personalities match with the ambitions. This online space is a place where I can grow personally, exchange expertise and feel comfortable at the same time

I am inspired by the cases of the members! They do not just create crucial and impactful initiatives, but also they have a true passion towards what they are doing every day. And this grit is felt each time even while exchanging the text messages. Ladies who tech is a place to meet the same minded women, to gather the insights and to share all the ideas. For me that is also a place to discuss the issues that it is so hard to discuss elsewhere.
