We’ve already helped more than 200,000 women learn to code and by working with companies globally, we’re boosting employability, diversity and social mobility, transforming local economies and communities. Our #REPRESENT podcast was launched to give our community role models of women and non-binary people who are killing it in the world of tech. We want our community to hear from women like themselves represented in top positions, inspiring them to push their careers and aspire to leadership positions once they've got their foot in the door.

Ep6 - What you learn makes you unique, Christina Scott, OVO | #REPRESENT

October 18, 2023 • Code First Girls • Episode 6

#REPRESENT is back with a new guest, Christina Scott, Chief Product and Technology Officer at OVO. Over the next thirty minutes, we talk about sustainable ways to be energy efficient from doing your washing at 4 a.m. to using solar panels to charge your car! But most importantly, we talk about how we as a nation can help to reach our Netzero targets.

Christina hails from a mechanical engineering background, so she’s not only an expert on what happens inside the drawing room but also on-site - whilst also being a super-mum to her children. We also get an insight into OVO’s initiatives and why they have been promoted as the best place to work for all women!

If you’re interested in sustainable tech and working in the energy sector this is the episode for you!

Our interview highlights:
👉How we can individually contribute to becoming more energy-efficient
👉What it means to build an agile tech team and why you should do it
👉How we can prepare for a rapidly changing skills market in tech
