Leadership Roadmap
Episode #8: Navigating Tech, Parenthood & Leadership With Rajini Carpenter
Had the privilege of recording with the brilliant Rajini Carpenter, CTO at Beforepay Group, for The Leadership Roadmap Podcast!
Rajini's path from studying computer science in India (thanks to her dad's guidance!) to leading engineering teams across IRESS, Deputy, and now Beforepay is packed with insights every tech leader needs to hear.
What hit me most:
- Her raw honesty about returning from maternity leave within 3 months (twice!) because of fear of falling behind in tech's fast pace
- How she influences without authority by prioritising customer focus over technical jargon
- Her commitment to hiring problem solvers who work with product and business, not just coders
- Her call for male allies in leadership to lean in and pull women up in the industry
Listeners will get practical advice on:
- Transitioning from IC to leadership
- Building confidence
- Balancing career with family
- Staying relevant as AI reshapes engineering
- Creating inclusive environments
This conversation is a masterclass in resilience, growth, and paying it forward.
