Women in Tech - Part One

In conjunction with International Women’s Day, we celebrate Women in Tech - an industry where women still remain underrepresented in general and in leadership. We speak to various female tech leaders who built their tech careers with hard work, sweat, tears and often overlooked - intelligence. In this episode, we speak to Women in Tech Malaysian Chapter’s Country Director, Yuki Aizawa; Aireen Omar, President, AirAsia Digital at AirAsia; and Ungku Norliza Syazwan Ungku Halmie, CEO of Boost Life.
