Sheleads Episode 13: The Evolution of Telecommunications

"A lack of female role models is also reinforcing the perception that a technology career isn’t for them. Only 22% of students can name a famous female working in technology. Whereas two thirds can name a famous man working in technology" - PWC Women in tech report

At SheLeads in tech, our mission is to showcase and spotlight the talents and achievements of women in the technology industry; this way we aspire to demonstrate that a career in tech is for women as much as any other occupation.

This week our spotlight is on Maria Lema, Co Founder of Weaver Labs Ltd, a B2B company, providing Infrastructure assets shared in a secure, open and interconnected telecommunications network

Maria describes herself as a person who works in tech. This is powerful as it delineates against the bias which continues to drive a lack of gender diversity in tech.

Maria has made contributions to the development of Telecommunications standards through her research work in 4G and 5G technology and is passionate about using research to drive innovation in Industry.

In this video, Maria Lema tells SheLeads in Tech Founder, Lydia Igoche, how she got into the Telecommunications industry.
