This week I had the pleasure of attending the 8th Annual Women in Business Conference. It was my fourth time in attendance but my first as a Partner for KnownFour.
As a company, I feel that KnownFour really reflects the values of Women in Business and I felt a strong element of pride telling people about our growing company and its focus on women and work-life integration.
At KnownFour I have the pleasure of working with some of the most amazing, strong and driven ladies on a daily basis who are all driven for different reasons. I don’t have to travel too far to see them, in fact, thanks to technology I don’t even have to leave my living room!
Which brings me to my other passion and a subject that resonated strongly at the Conference this year; “Digital Technology” and how it is changing our world and our working culture.
Listening to the amazing Regina Moran from Fujitsu about the developments they are making in different parts of the world and how a global company like Fujitsu can make a difference to under-privileged children and 3rd world countries by their developing products was mind blowing.
Then being seriously entertained by a fellow Leinster woman, Samantha Kelly aka tweeting goddess, who proved to us what the power of twitter can achieve. They’re both extremely strong business women from two completely different ends of the digital world but both with a common passion for technology.
I love recruiting in this sector and the diversity of people and roles it offers, as well as being part of a society that champions women and applauds their successes.
