From a Scientist to an Entrepreneur

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

As a female founder and a women in AI and technology, I love sharing my career journey to encourage more women to join the AI revolution. Earlier this year, for the International Women’s Day in March 2020, Cleo AI have invited me to share my journey with their lovely team. In this talk, I discuss my career path and how, starting my career as a software engineer, I have become an AI research scientist and after my PhD and almost seven wonderful years in academia, I moved into the startup world. Soon after, I created my own - Sentient Machines.

In this talk, I summarised challenges from managing and building successful career and teams, to being managed, and most importantly, investing in learning and self-development as a way to enrich not only your own experience of life, but also the life of those around you.
