The women of PowerToFly and WomenInTech NY/NJ are excited to host our second virtual "meet and greet" on Thursday May 14th from 6:00 - 7:00 pm EST.
We are having a lively discussion with Nefeli Lygourioti, Full Stack Engineer at The women of PowerToFly and WomenInTech NY/NJ are excited to host our second virtual "meet and greet" on Thursday May 14th from 6:00 - 7:00 pm EST.
We are having a lively discussion with Nefeli Lygourioti, Full Stack Engineer at Retraced on the topic of "Fashion on the Blockchain." Learn about a blockchain-powered transparency platform that allows fashion brands to unlock relevant supply chain information and share their verified sustainability and ethical efforts with consumers. Retraced has won the German Sustainability Award for Digitalization.
The event will kick off with a welcome address by PowerToFly and conclude with virtual networking! I am nicknamed “the digitizer,” in the banking industry. I pride myself on being highly effective at transforming traditional financial institutions into “digital adopters,” while growing the bottom line. I help well known financial institutions take commercial advantage of technology optimization. From strategy through to execution, I guide business leaders on how to overcome fundamental challenges, deliver real value, and accelerate revenue growth. To further bridge the digital knowledge gap, I recently published a book that is loaded with change management resources, it’s titled “How to Become a Digital Leader: A Roadmap to Success,” which is available on Amazon.com. To further encourage digital adoption, in 2017 I launched Women in Tech NJ & NY (WIT) to educate managers and leaders on the emerging technologies. Lauren Hagerty is the Director of Marketing and Community for PowerToFly - the fastest growing diversity recruiting platform connecting women with Fortune 500 corporations and fast-growing startups. Lauren launched PowerToFly’s Virtual Chat & Learn program in 2018 and has hosted over 300 chats with female thought leaders worldwide. Formerly, Lauren worked as the Community Engagement Manager for the industry-leading home automation platform, Wink. She currently works remotely from her home in upstate New York, where she can be found hitting the slopes or hanging out with her Pomeranian, Sprinkles.
