Here, she talks following your passion, getting more women into tech's top jobs and the valuable advice she leads by. By Natalie Cornish Previous article ‘Connectivity Is Key. Access Is Everything:’ Sylvia Jeffreys Launches Future Women Podcast Next article Members On Their Way: Dr. Ashna Basu It might surprise you to learn that The Iconic’s Chief Technology Officer, Zoe Ghani, didn’t know how to use a computer mouse when she decided to give programming a go.“I started as a journalist for a newspaper before news was online,” she tells Future Women. “When the internet exploded, media had to adapt to the online world and I was part of this journey. I fell in love with it. From that time on, I knew I wanted a career in tech/digital, so I put up my hand to be a Webmaster (despite not knowing how to even use the mouse on a computer properly yet!).” “As women, we can have a tendency to underestimate our abilities – especially in the workforce. Some of the best advice I’ve been given is to put aside fears or feelings of inadequacy, and to simply jump in and go for it. If I am passionate about another area within the business (or another industry altogether), then it’s important to acknowledge that and set up a learning path to get there.” Zoe will be sharing more of her wisdom at the FW Social Club in Sydney on August 27th.
