In this episode, we’re joined by Alison Leightley, Events Marketing Manager at Redgate Software team who shares her unique journey into the world of tech - which wasn’t a straight, linear path.   Alison opens up about the challenges she faced, the triumphs she’s celebrated, and what it’s like to build a career in tech without being “techie.” We also dive into her experiences of joining Redgate, what stood out in the hiring process, and her perspective on thriving at a company that values diverse skills and experiences.  SheCanCode is a collaborative community of women in tech working together to tackle the tech gender gap. Join our community to find a supportive network, opportunities, guidance and jobs, so you can excel in your tech career.
