They are the role models for the next generation female talents.  

Leading digital technology and driving diversity

Candice Dillon and her mentor at school experimented with nerve testing technology is where the first technology spark was lit for her. Now, famous for her end-to-end capabilities, she adopted a leadership style that would help her get the job done. A leader is only as effective as the people he or she works with. Candice Dillon’s belief that a diverse team brings balance, creativity and innovation has shaped her approach to leadership.

Benji has also been listed as a Forbes Top60 female leader in technology and actively supports women in technology. She is a leader that focusses on building her team, ensuring collaboration across the organisation and a strong supporter of women. Benji is a role model on how to build a career in digital and how to take a seat at both the business and the technical table.

During this session we will talk about their career highlights and challenges, their views on attracting and retaining more women in digital technology, the importance of having a mentor, and how they see their own role as digital leaders towards the next generation female talents.
