On this episode of Strategy Sheroes I’m joined by Mary McKenna.

Mary is a tech entrepreneur, angel investor and was co-founder of the hugely successful e-learning company Learning Pool, where she was also my boss. She is one of the entrepreneurs in residence at the University of Oxford and is currently kickstarting new female founder network AwakenHub. Mary was awarded an MBE in 2014 for her services to Digital Technology, Innovation and Learning.

We chat about:

• Mary's move from accountancy to becoming a tech entrepreneur and investor

• Her investment criteria

• The skills needed to be successful in business

• Mary's advice for female founders, and why she feels it's so important to pay it forward
