At the end of last week, we hosted a bit of a warm-up for the Split Tech City Festival by organizing our Women In Tech Meetup on Thursday at The Works coworking.

Throughout the previous editions of this meetup which took place in 2023 with two different panel discussions in March and June, combined with Suzana’s lecture in the later part of the year, we got confirmation of the importance of this meetup from the Split Tech City community.

With an important topic and an engaging Q&A discussion, this edition of Women In Tech was no different!

This particular edition of #WomenInTech was brought to you in collaboration with ELEKS, one of Split Tech City Community members.

ELEKS is a global software engineering company with employees in Europe and the USA. ELEKS has been ranked among the top 100 global companies providing professional software engineering and consulting services for over 30 years.

The company employs many high-skilled experts and covers niches from custom software development to product design and technology consulting, making it an ideal choice for many of the world’s leading companies, as well as small and medium-sized businesses.

Another thing they are passionate about at ELEKS is empowering women in technology.

Therefore, it was a given we’d give them space to discuss this particular topic at one of the Split Tech City Women In Tech meetups.

The ELEKS team member who will share her knowledge and know-how with the audience in Split next week is Kateryna Mora Soria, Head of the Project Management Office at ELEKS.

Kateryna is a dedicated and passionate leader with a 10+ years track record as a high-performing professional in project management and delivery management. She has proven experience delivering projects and programs in complex and sometimes even chaotic environments.

She is passionate about the ongoing development of new skills and obtaining new knowledge, and enjoys working with multicultural teams leveraging her language skills in Spanish, English, and Greek. Outside of work, Kateryna is an advocate for autism and a horse-riding aficionado.

Kateryna showcased all this and more through her interactive delivery of the talk titled: “Mastering Women’s Leadership: Achieving Balance in Work and Life”.

Ideated as a lecture done in a workshop style it covered the following points:

• defining women’s leadership and its unique strengths
• strategies for successfully balancing professional and personal responsibilities
• overcoming gender stereotypes in leadership roles
• the importance of self-care and mental well-being for sustained success
• the role of mentorship and networking in achieving work-life harmony

Aside from sharing her know-how with the meetup attendees, Kateryna also shared with them a lot of useful strategies they can implement in their own lives and work to achieve the desired results.

All of you who missed out on this opportunity, have a chance to gain some insights from Kateryna by watching the video of her lecture on our YouTube channel.

What can’t be compensated with a video is the networking opportunity all attendees of Split Tech City meetups enjoy – and Women In Tech is no different in that regard. 🙂

However, you will have a chance to do that at the next Women In Tech meetup, or during the Split Tech City Festival this week. Don’t miss it! 😉
