Women’s Day 2024: #WomenInTech

Today, on Women’s Day, we honour the incredible contributions of women in the global technology field. At GAP Talent, we are committed to celebrating and supporting women who are breaking barriers and driving innovation in tech.

In our latest Q&A video, International Technology Recruitment Specialist Kirstyn Johnston sat down with Stefanie Garise, a trailblazer from South Africa making waves in the global technology landscape. Stefanie’s journey is an inspiring testament to the power of determination, mentorship, and the importance of diversity and inclusion in technology.

Stefanie shares:

“Women play a significant role in the field of technology, and it’s important to celebrate their achievements as well as their work towards diversity and inclusion in the space.”

Stefanie’s story, fueled by her mother’s early encouragement and exposure to computer science, serves as a shining example for all aspiring women in the tech sector.

Key Takeaways from Stefanie’s Journey in Tech:

• Start Early: Early education and exposure to technology can set the foundation for a successful career.
• Overcome Challenges: Face imposter syndrome head-on and embrace continuous learning.
• Apply Consistently: Consistent practice and application of skills are crucial.
