Letโ€™s continue the #WomeninFrenchTech series, highlighting inspiring women who are driving the evolution of French Tech in France and around the world.Today, discover the portrait of Beata Mosรณr, founder and CLO of CIRCmodel.com, a business operating model for leaders, using AI as a base. ๐Ÿ’ก ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐“๐ž๐œ๐ก? I've been in tech for almost 20 years, so I barely remember the very beginnings. I believe it was quite natural for me, as my father was a self-taught programmer who taught me programming starting when I was 6 years old. So in high school, I joined the Math & IT specialization. After that, I started studies in an IT & Energy interdisciplinary specialization at the Cracow University of Technology. Taking that background into account, when I first joined a small tech startup, the tech field wasn't intimidating for me.๐Ÿ† ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐Ÿ ๐จ๐Ÿ? I feel pride on several levels when I reflect on my career. There are the factual achievements, like contributing to the marketing efforts at nazwa.pl, which resulted in exponential growth from 100k to 1 million customers in just three years, or co-founding the bootstrapped, fast-growing lean strategy agency Project: People. But I'm also proud of having the courage to speak at international conferences and contribute to international publications. I'm proud of collaborating confidently with global brands like Sabre and Google, and top universities. I'm also incredibly proud of my mentees, who are often young entrepreneurs of 16 or 17 years old. Witnessing their progress is deeply rewarding.๐Ÿš€ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ซ ๐ ๐จ๐š๐ฅ? I'd like to build my own hardware solution and develop a dedicated programming language specifically to create its AI-based operating system.โณ๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐จ ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž, ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ข๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ? I wish I had spoken up louder and earlier about the challenges we face as women in IT. I initially found strategies to achieve my goals without directly addressing those issues, and I learned how to operate in a male-dominated environment with successes. But after almost 20 years, I know that not talking about these challenges is not a solution. Nothing will change if we don't give direct feedback and talk openly about it. It requires a lot of bravery and transparency, but it's worth doing for the next generation of women in tech.๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป ๐–๐ก๐ข๐œ๐ก ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ? As a big film enthusiast, one woman who inspires me is Juliette Binoche. Even though she is one of the most beautiful women in the world, she managed not to be pigeonholed by it. She has played very deep psychological roles alongside iconic female heroes, perfectly balancing being a role model for a generation of young girls dreaming of becoming actresses with her humble approach.#WomeninFrenchTech #womenintech #tech #AI #interview #FrenchTech La French Tech Krakow La French Tech ...

We continue our #WomeninFrenchTech series, shining a spotlight on inspiring women who are shaping French Tech, in France and around the world.Today, discover the portrait of Uliana Shchelgacheva, founder and CEO of Phronetiq, a digital platform that fosters confident retirement transitions for companies and employees. ๐Ÿ’ก ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐“๐ž๐œ๐ก ? Technology can be a strong driver for an impact. With the solution we develop, and in the space that we develop our solution, there is a lot of impact to be made. So technology is a strong enabler for the impact we want to make and scale in the future. ๐Ÿ† ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐Ÿ ๐จ๐Ÿ? The journey itself. Being a founder is a marathon, and at times there are moments that you really have to remind yourself that you are here for a long run. While the journey can at times be bumpy, every bump leads to incredible learning. Proud to be pushing myself and those in our team, proud to stay resilient, to insist on the vision when the times are tough, and yet to continue listening, learning and adapting, daily.๐Ÿš€ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ซ ๐ ๐จ๐š๐ฅ? We want to change the outdated paradigms about retirement. Retirement is not an end in itself, but a new, exciting, and enriching phase, where people can achieve purpose, capitalize on their skills and knowledge and live lives meaningfully. Our ambition is to improve the decision-making capacity of people transitioning into retirement, and become a go-to partner to both individuals and organizations that manage these transitions.โณ๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐จ ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž, ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ข๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ? It is always easier to see things and spot errors looking back; many things look obvious once they are behind you. But the value of the journey itself is that every twist gives us new insights and lessons. While a founder's journey tests your confidence greatly, it also gives you daily opportunities to grow it. So being mindful and thankful for all the pitfalls as opportunities to grow your confidence is one of my insights I try to live by going forward.๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป ๐–๐ก๐ข๐œ๐ก ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ? Christine Lagarde, for her calm yet trust-inspiring demeanor and an inspiring journey. While she is not an entrepreneur herself, I am inspired by her advocacy for gender equality in leadership and economic empowerment. As the first woman to lead the IMF and the European Central Bank, she has consistently championed policies that support women in business. Her courage in challenging the status quo serves as an example for women breaking barriers in entrepreneurship and leadership.#WomeninFrenchTech #womenintech #tech #finance #data #AI #interview #FrenchTech #IWD25 La French Tech Krakow ...
