This episode of the TechWaka podcast features the journey of Anna Cupples, Head of Engineering at Trade Me and an accomplished triathlete.

The conversation covers the importance of flexibility and resilience in engineering delivery, the value of diverse teams in technology development, and leadership roles that don't necessarily involve managing people.

Anna shares her journey from being a spectator at her father's triathlons to competing in Ironman races and how the lessons learned from triathlon, such as discipline, goal-setting, and enjoying the process, apply to her tech leadership role. She emphasizes the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in tech, sharing insights from her experience at Trade Me.
