In this episode of The Techionista Podcast, Vivianne talks to Meyke van den Bos. During COVID, Meyke decided to make a major career change and retrain at Techionista Academy. She is currently working as a data scientist at TomTom.

Vivianne and Meyke discuss what it's really like as a woman working in tech and how having a completely different professional background can work to your advantage. And, she might have to answer to the question of how to fix discriminating AI.

About Meyke: Before Meyke decided to pursue a career in tech, Meyke was working as a publisher and a functional analyst. She believes you're never too old to learn and that women need to believe in themselves and what they bring to the table in the tech industry.
