Amy Williams joins The She Project to discuss her career in Technology, looking at the myths around Technology roles as well as what it's like to be a female in Technology. Amy spent just over a decade at a large global consulting firm in their Financial Services Technology practise and her background is primarily working on complex systems integration programmes at most of the large UK Financial Services institutions. Amy joined one of the largest UK Banks in June of 2017 to lead the Open Banking Technology Programme, and at the end of 2019 was appointed Chief Information Officer for the Business Banking division of the UK Bank.

In this episode we will be talking about:

  • Myths and assumptions around working in technology
  • Working in technology without the 'technical' experience or background
  • Career planning v natural progression
  • Asking for a seat around the table
  • Advice for anyone looking to move into technology
