Angeliki Patsiavou, a Senior Consultant at Avanade, takes us on a captivating journey from her Mediterranean roots to earning her MVP status in 2023. Raised bilingual with Greek and Italian influences, Angeliki shares how her rich cultural background and love for math led to a bold pivot from economics to technology. Discover how her passion for programming, sparked during her master's thesis, propelled her into a tech career filled with exciting risks and rewarding opportunities. Angeliki also provides a glimpse into the vibrant sense of community she finds within the MVP program, which is steeped in shared values of food, family, and camaraderie.

Join us for an exploration of the UK’s online gambling industry's evolution, where we unravel the taxing challenges and regulations that shaped its competitive landscape. We shine a light on the unwavering importance of representation and inclusivity in STEM fields, inspired by a chance encounter at the National Museum of Computing, highlighting the historical contributions of women in tech. From the legacy of Bletchley Park to the promising potential of AI technologies, we discuss how grassroots initiatives are nurturing innovation and collaboration. Listen as we celebrate the organic growth of a co-pilot community, driven by shared enthusiasm and powerful connections that propel both history and technology forward.
