It’s a bit of a late one from me because I’m on the train home after spending the day in London for a work event.…. What a day ✨💃🏼🎉❤️ Great weather, lovely people, loads of exciting conversations… and then they completely caught me off guard.…….. They’ve asked me to relocate to Barcelona in January 2027 to lead the community in the new office they’re opening out there. 🤯🇪🇸 I wasn’t expecting that conversation!!!!!! There’s obviously loads to think about. Finn will be in his final year of A Levels, so he comes first. I’m already trying to work out how I could make it work by travelling backwards and forwards until he’s finished because I don’t want to disrupt such an important year for him.….. It’s just mad to think where I was a few months ago.….. Now I’ve got Paris next week, I’m organising a Remobi - Women in Tech event in Germany later this year, travelling around meeting incredible people, helping grow communities across Europe… and now I’m being asked if I’d relocate to Barcelona.… what is my life?! 🤣….. there’s never a dull moment that’s for sure!!! I’m excited, a little bit terrified, and very very qvery grateful….. Sometimes life really does throw opportunities at you when you least expect them. Anyway… I’m absolutely shattered, so I’m going to get home, give Finn & Blacky-Chan a cuddle and let all of this sink in. ❤️…….i hope you’ve all had a lovely week xxx

Hi everyone 😊 I wanted to share some exciting news! 🎉 I have accepted a position as a Software Engineer / Data Scientist at Geotechnics. In this role, I am working on automating their manual lab processes using software and data solutions. It is initially a three-month contract, but I am really enjoying the work so far. I feel very grateful to be gaining hands-on industry experience while continuing to look for long-term opportunities 🙏✨ It feels much better to be learning, working, and growing rather than just sitting at home and searching for jobs 😊 Thank you all for your support and encouragement! 💐

I'm just doing my pre-work for this evening's session of the Carruthers & Jackson CDO summer school, which a guy called Scott Taylor will be leading. It included watching a fun video of The Data Puppets, and who did I see in the credits but our very own @Susan Walsh! Susan, you're just *everywhere*! It's fun, worth a watch everyone!

Good morning lovely ladies, A few months ago I was speaking with KPMG, one of our corporate partners, about this network and the exceptional range of skills and interests across it. They’ve been supporting a research project on AI, numeracy and social mobility, and I’m attending the launch on 14 July. They reached out on Friday to say they’d love to invite women from this network to join too - my contact had taken a look at WiTPN on LinkedIn and was very impressed. I’ve included details of the event below. Social mobility is a real passion of mine, and AI has the potential to do a huge amount of good, but also to widen gaps if we’re not thoughtful about how it’s used and the key skills required to access it. This research focuses on the role numeracy plays in that, which I think will make for a really interesting discussion. If you’d like to attend, please let me know and I can help arrange tickets. It would also be lovely to meet some of you in person. 🌟 Event details: We are very pleased to invite you to the launch of AI, Numeracy and Social Mobility – a new research report from Policy Connect and businesses of the National Numeracy Leadership Council. KPMG has worked closely with National Numeracy since 2018, when they co-founded National Numeracy Day to help people build confidence with numbers. Around half of the UK’s working-age population (approximately 17–20 million adults) have numeracy skills at or below the level expected of a primary school leaver. Date: Tuesday 14 July 2026Time: 08:00 – 10:30 (arrival from 8:00 for security clearance; 8:30 registration and breakfast; panel discussion 9:00–10:00, followed by networking) Location: Churchill Room, House of Commons Join Lord Evans of Rainow and an esteemed panel to discuss the report’s findings and policy recommendations. The research highlights that only 25% of UK adults believe numeracy skills are needed to use AI tools, compared to 42% who believe literacy is required. However, strong numeracy remains fundamental to engaging with AI confidently and critically.

What a fantastic session with Aimee! Those who joined us, what did you enjoy most? Here's the link: https://www.skool.com/women-in-tech-power-network/classroom/f8cdf7b3?md=3084e751724c460bb38989b6cc71790b Please do share you thoughts ❤️ Who else would you like me to invite? I need to get in touch with Mike Wooldridge (Oxford AI Professor and now FRS!!) again to get a date in the diary for him to speak to us, so I'll do that now. Happy Monday and Greetings from Juan Les Pins! Lots of love Sue xxx
