In this episode of itag SheLeads Tech, hosts Michelle and Jennifer move from the "unfiltered" to the "unspoken," diving into the biological realities that shape women’s professional lives. We explore the critical differences between progressive corporate "perks" and fundamental government "rights," asking a vital question: Are we treating women’s health as a luxury or a necessity?

In this new episode, Jennifer Conlon sits down with Anne-Marie Nolan and Emer Fanning and dives deep into how they shattered the ceiling in highly technical, architecture-focused roles.

To kick off the series, we're starting at the very heart of the itag network with two of the most influential leaders in our tech community.

In Episode 1, our host Michelle McHale sits down with Caroline Cawley, CEO of itag , and Sharon Walsh, Chair of itag and Senior Vice President at Fidelity Investments.

This isn't a conversation about their CVs. It’s an honest, personal look at their real journeys. We talk about:

• The "twists and turns" and defining moments that shaped their careers.

• The leadership myths they are determined to bust for other women.

• The challenges they’ve faced and the advice they’d give their 21-year-old selves.

• How they actually balance high-pressure roles with life outside of work.

If you’re ready for real inspiration and authentic stories from women who are truly shaping the future of technology, this is for you.
