#3 team builder T
his is an exciting time to be involved in tech. I recently had the pleasu re of helping build a dig ital bank. I worked with my banking client to get the ir mobile development team unde rway and helped create their android app, which has had millions of downloa ds. I studied cognitive scien ce and computer science, a combination that let me explore a broad range of areas in technology, psychology and philosophy. After un i I moved to Scotland, joined a tec h start-up and worked in mobile development. Eventually I launched my own con sultancy. My biggest fail? Shutting out my colleagues. I used to think I needed to concen trate quietly on my own. Now I see that a collaborativ e environment, where co de is written as a team, produ ces better software, allow s knowledge transfer and is way more fun.

espite starting out as a journalist, I got a tech job in product management at Yahoo! Now, working at The Iconic is my dream job. I get to be around amazing fashion and work with some of the most talented engineering minds in the industry. I’m also writing a book. People are often surprised that I’m interested in cooking as much as tech! My advice: Don’t let anyone get in the way of what you want to do, even if you’re the only girl. As long as you love it, you belong there.
