Advice for Women Mimi’ shared on her Podcast “Searching for Mana”:
Mimi speaks about the importance of perception. “Many women would not apply to tech
roles although they have sufficient qualifications. We also tend to ask less aggressively for
promotions. However, learning from our female podcast guests like Charlotte Crosswell,
Fiona Ghosh, Lara Gilman or Shefali Roy, and many more, women are leading in tech
companies and that’s our inspiration.”
