Welcome to Women in Tech (ZA), a showcase of women in the South African tech sector. I’m hoping this blog will do several things:
– Be a resource for women in the sector to showcase themselves, their fields and expertise;
– Be a networking resource that people in the sector can use to find skills, resources and expertise;
– Be a showcase of the talent in the South African tech sector
If you know anyone you think we should be profiling here please drop me a line on Twitter @WomeninTechZA or via samantha dot perry at gmail dot com.
I’ll be uploading the first of our profiles in the next few days and publishing every second or third day for the foreseeable.
Thanks for visiting!
