Come and join the conversation with Alina Timofeeva , an expert in her field working all over the world with AI, data and technology!Delving straight in Alina tells me about her background growing up in Russia under the care of her grandmother, whose hopes were for her to become a housewife which is traditional in her home country.But Alina had other ideas, she became the first woman in her family to work, her simple background gave her the drive to help better not only her own life but the lives of her family too.Deciding to go to Moscow State University to study Mathematics, Alina's aspirations were high, however found herself as a graduate and seemingly the bottom of the pile when it came to securing a job. Being the resilient woman she is, Alina applied for over 1000 jobs, vying for a role in the ever competitive corporate world, and landed herself a placement in the UK.Clearly gifted in her knowledge and determined to climb her way up the corporate ladder, Alina bravely took the plunge and moved to the UK despite not knowing a single soul!We chat about the challenges she faced in an industry that is heavily male dominated, her creative side from her experience of modelling and photography, and the burning passion she has to help others to see the potential within themselves.We talk about cultural differences, the difficulties she experienced settling into a new country, sponsorship opportunities she wished she'd have known sooner and the beauty of mentoring!Alina shares with me her journey of being an introvert, and having to put yourself out there and be seen and heard when it feels alien to do so. We chat about the work she has done on her own personal branding, and cementing herself as an expert in technology conversations across the globe.This lady is a POWERHOUSE! An example of sheer resilience, determination and tenacity! Her mission is to inspire 50 million people to see that failure is an opportunity to grow, and to allow the future generations a place to get their stories seen and heard.What an absolute pleasure to speak to such an incredible woman, a woman who is breaking down barriers in her industry and a true advocate for paving the way for the younger generation.Alina is a Top Voice on LinkedIn, go and connect with her to watch her inspiring journey! ⭐linkedin.com/in/atimofeeva
