On this episode of the SheCanCode podcast, we welcome Jenny Briant, Academy Operations Director at Ten10, to unpack why closing the gender pay gap still looks like a half‑century project—and what we can do today to speed things up.

• Breaking in without the “right” CV – Jenny’s non‑linear journey into tech leadership and why diverse backgrounds drive better teams. 
• AI with a conscience – the hidden biases she’s spotted in algorithmic hiring tools and why Ten10 insists on human oversight. 
• Representation at the top – how gender‑balanced leadership teams build fairer AI models and reduce workplace inequality. 
• Mentorship for Gen Z – practical ways sponsors can boost confidence, pay transparency, and career momentum for women entering tech. 
• Skills that outlast code – why adaptability, communication, and problem‑solving now rank alongside Python in Jenny’s playbook.
