My journey to Sponsors in Tech:​

​

I started my recruiting career in 2010 in Australia, finding a niche in financial markets technology. Naturally two domains in dire need of diverse talent I would often receive requests from clients for diverse shortlists, but sometimes frustratingly only because of a quota the client needed to fill.

​

Fast forward 5 years and a continental move to Singapore I was surprised to be taken back in time and found myself having the same conversations. Of course, delivering to clients requests was essential but it also struck a chord, as to why this was a problem in the first place. And as an integral part of many career decisions and strategic partner shaping how companies look I realized I had to, and could do more to support diversity. That’s when I discovered GIT in 2019 and started volunteering ever since to enable the much needed change.
