Hello everyone! I hope wherever you are, you're enjoying the same sun that we are here in Berlin 🌻 I saw that Sifted (Financial Times start-up magazine) has opened their nominations for their 100 Women in Tech shortlist: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/siftedeu_womenintech-europeantech-100womenintech-activity-7455896341177651200-RUMi?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAABGtdp4BhK3tq0z9Bzn1d8IBWIGf0A77CRo Thought a couple of you might want to nominate folks from your networks! 💫

Wasn't Larissa amazing? From growing up in Brazil, working on breast cancer diagnosis, coming to the UK, starting her PhD 3 times, her Smart Cities expertise at the Mayor's Office, work with Vint Cerf at NASA and as a CTO at Google, Larissa is just fantastic. Do watch our Fireside with Larissa if you missed it: https://www.skool.com/women-in-tech-power-network/classroom/f8cdf7b3?md=30d6847e9c5545efa8d4ccad31be7f32 Thank you so much to everyone who joined us: @Gita Singham @Roshni Vachhani @Soumya Singh @Sarah Foxley @Marianne Whitfield @Cath Fenn @Fawzia Zehra Kara-Isitt @Nikki Labrum @Cigdem Sengul @Zainab Bala @Louise Humpington @Lauren Hargreaves @Amanda Moore @Dawn McAra-Hunter @Anna Rose Hartmann and a massive welcome to new member @Karen Jones (Woohoo!!!

Hi Ladies! I'm very excited to be heading over for London Tech Week, 8-12th June. Is anyone joining? I've always really enjoyed this festival and would recommend. It takes place at Olympia in Kensington the Monday-Wednesday and there are fringe events across the city, Thursday-Friday. Would love to do a meet-up in the margins of the event if anyone is around!

Sharing a proud moment from today my son-in-law Alex is taking on the Paris Marathon 2026 to raise money for Dementia UK ❤️ He’s already smashed his fundraising target, but as always with causes like this… there’s still so much more to do. I’ve shared the full story and link on my LinkedIn below 👇 If you’re able to support, share, or simply give a bit of encouragement, it would mean a lot. Let’s get behind him and everyone taking on challenges like this .. it’s not just about the run, it’s about the impact and getting out of bed when you really don’t want too! I haven’t posted this on LinkedIn .. but both my daughter (Meg) and Alex are in Lancashire Police and do incredible demanding roles ( Traffic and Child protection) so this feels extra special! He really is a super hero in disguise! And diabetic too so has his challenges no one sees! Super proud mum in law xx 💙 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/parkinamanda_parismarathon2026-parismarathon2026-dementiauk-share-7449016663036825600-95Fq?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAAsxddYB3HfaLVB-nEFrsMT_OdmyOG6l2RE Sent from my iPhone

I’VE JUST COME OUT OF MY SECOND INTERVIEW AND I’VE GOT THE JOB?!?!?!?! 😭👏🏼 I am not even joking… I’m currently pacing, screaming, laughing, crying, all of it at once because WHATTTTT IS HAPPENING 😭 The director is coming to Liverpool on Tuesday to meet in person and finalise everything… but the role is mine.….MINE. I HAVE AN ACTUAL JOB!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! 😭👏🏼✨ I don’t even know how to put this into words properly because this isn’t just “I got a job”… this feels so much bigger than that. Every single question they asked me… I had real answers for. Not theory…… Not waffling on with myself….. Real experience that I could confidently talk about!!!! And that is ONLY because of what I do in this network. This space has given me the chance to actually do the work…. to build…. to support….. to organise….. to show up consistently…… to grow in confidence…. and I walked into those interviews feeling it.….. It felt natural…… It felt like me💥💃🏼❤️🙏✨ And that’s all happened because someone took a chance on me…… @Sue Black thank you for trusting me, backing me, and giving me the space to step into this properly. I will never, ever take that lightly or forget it 🙏✨❤️ And to every single incredible woman in this network… you’ve embraced me, supported me, hyped me, picked me up on the wobbly days….. and that is EXACTLY why I’ve just landed the most perfect role. i am seriously just… overjoyed…..shocked and just so freaking relieved!!!!! Proper, from-the-heart, can’t-stop-smiling kind of happy 😭❤️✨I needed this win, especially this week & I couldn’t wait to share my fab news with all you amazing people that have helped me get to this point…… I feel like you’ve all been on this journey with me & now you get to see my happily ever after moment ❤️✨💃🏼🙏💯
