The Unscripted Career: How Women are Rewriting the Path to Leadership in Tech

The Unscripted Career: How Women Are Rewriting the Path to Leadership in Tech Real conversations with women who changed direction, stepped up, and figured out leadership along the way. No stage, no slides, no traditional panel. Just real conversations with women who’ve changed direction, stepped up, and figured out leadership along the way. Women in Tech Germany and ESMT Berlin invite you to an evening built around conversation, not presentations. Four leaders each host a round table, and you stay in your seat while the speakers rotate, so you get two different perspectives and two different conversations.
