Our co-founder, Tatyana Hristova, PCC, was recently interviewed by Council of Women in Business in Bulgaria, where she shared her professional journey and highlighted the invaluable lessons from her experience at the Leadership Academy, which continue to inspire her work in empowering leaders today. Check out the full interview to learn more about her insights on leadership and personal growth!

Last week I was delighted to speak at the 6th annual Women in Tech Global Conference, another milestone in our great collaboration with WomenTech Network. It is a real privilege to be among the wonderful women who are esteemed professionals in their fields, all of us doing our best to promote gender diversity and empower women across the global technology sector. I strived to make my 30-minute talk as useful as possible. I was able to tell a few practical stories about the things we do at Luxoft to make our people shine throughout their Employee Journey. At the moment, women account for 27% of Luxoft’s workforce and hold 41% of our leadership positions. We’re constantly empowering growth through learning via corporate programs, internal training and self-learning libraries. Our High Performers Club program is aimed at cultivating excellence and leadership – notably, 24% of the last HPC edition were women. Luxoft’s BRIDGE Mentoring program, with 42% female mentees in the last cycle, is designed to nurture the growth of managers in an empowering environment. Last but not least, we are developing our Subject Matter Experts through a dedicated Tech Influencer Boot Camp that had 28% female participants in its first edition. I believe that such events are an important part of promoting Diversity & Inclusion worldwide and encourage everyone to support the WomenTech Network and fellow organizations in their important cause. #luxoft #luxoftinsights #luxoftwomen #leadershipdevelopment #careerdevelopment #dei

Creating Our Future in Tech: Shaping It with Purpose Today, I had the privilege of attending the Women in Tech Forum, and the stories I heard from inspiring women leaders left me feeling empowered and motivated. One story that really hit home was shared by @UrsulaKoski, CTO for Nordics Partners at AWS. She succeeded not thanks to, but despite the challenges she faced. Her resilience is a reminder that no matter the obstacles, we can still rise and thrive through persistence and determination. Another standout moment came from @LillyVasanthini, VP and Delivery Head – Eastern Europe, Nordics, and Switzerland at Infosys, who spoke about the importance of embracing fearlessness. She encouraged us not to let fear hold us back but to use it as fuel to drive us toward success, pushing boundaries with confidence. Lastly, @LuluZhang, Head of Technology & Services at KONE IT, shared a powerful message that has stayed with me: "The best way to predict the future is to create it." This resonated deeply with me, as it underscores the idea that we have the power to shape our own future through intentional actions and purposeful decisions. As I sat there, smiling at my phone with the words "Reshaping IT" beneath me, I felt more determined than ever to continue crafting my own path. Working in a department called Create, I’m reminded daily of the power we have to innovate, seize opportunities, and shape the future with our own hands. To all the women in tech or those aspiring to join: you can create your future, no matter the obstacles. With hard work, persistence, and a fearless mindset, we are all reshaping IT together. #WomenInTech2024 #WITForum2024 #ReshapingIT #Inspiration #CreateYourFuture #SuccessDespiteChallenges

This conversation is an example of why I feel privileged to spend my time contributing to the WorkWise Pod. There is nothing easy about this - but it feels important, urgent and resonates very deeply. Learnt a lot from the speakers, and I have a lot more reading I want to do! If you want to join me, Check out www.workwisepod.com for the references and resources. But if you don't do any of that, just listen to the episode.

Cannot wait to listen to this! I have always admired the work Christina Dhanuja does, and this podcast promises to be incredibly insightful. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in organizations cannot be fully realized without addressing the structural inequalities rooted in caste and privilege. Often, the narrative of meritocracy in hiring and promotions ignores the historical exclusion of marginalized communities from opportunities and the systemic barriers that persist to this day. Which continue into how our organisations are structured and how roles are designed and defined. Conversations like the one in this podcast are crucial in unpacking these complexities and pushing us to rethink how we approach inclusion in our workplaces. Looking forward to listening to it!
