Today we launched #WomenWise<rise> in Birmingham! It's safe to say it was a big success. 26 thoughtful, ambitious, supportive, successful female leaders from tech, data, digital and transformation hearing from an AWESOME, C-level, inspiring panel. We shared challenges, opportunities, ideas, advice, career journeys, passions and interests, and more more. Special thanks to Heena Mistry, Kelly Goodwin MBA, CITP MBCS, Luan Hughes and Helen Blaikie, our fabulous panel, and Emma M. for helping us to move to a bigger venue at Aston University's new central Brum hub at the last minute. Also thanks to Helen Miller and Helen Vlachou and our wider Birmingham team for making this a big success, and founder of WomenWiseData Kalina Tomova for her ongoing support and inspiration! Can't wait until the next one in Sept! Contact me if you'd like to get involved. #inspiring #careers #dei #belonging #impostersyndrome #confidence #justsayyes #visibleleadership #itsoktomakemistakes #authenticity #experimentinasafeplace #resilience #ownworstenemy #cheerleaders #believe #cultureiskey #rolemodels #mentors
Hearing some really great feedback from those that attended - love it! 👏
Thank you Natalie and team for inviting me onto the panel … really enjoyed hearing about everyone’s career path, none of which followed a typical linear approach into tech, data and transformation careers 💡
Thank you organising and hosting the Women Wise event this morning. It was fabulous! The panelists were women to aspire to and hearing their stories and experiences was so interesting. I've come away enthused to be more open to opportunities and be more authentic in a work setting. Thank you and I look forward to the next event in September !
It was so inspiring to hear from the panellists. It’s the best morning I have had in a long time! Really excited to see the network grow 🪴 Thanks for involving us Natalie Whittlesey Helen Vlachou

Thanks Natalie Whittlesey and team, loved being part of todays event. What a fantastic way to start the day!
What a brilliant event! Congratulations all.
Thank you Natalie for hosting,definitely big success and thank you to you and the team for coordinating. Great to hear about the different journeys that make us who we are today- strong inspiring women, not just from the panel but all who attended. If there’s one thing that everyone was able to take away, action, learn or reflect on, that makes a difference, is powerful in itself.
