Ceiling in ICT Leadership

Join us for the inaugural session of the Women in TICON Masterclass Series, a bold new platform created to amplify the voices, journeys, and insights of women shaping Africa’s tech future.

Our first session, “Breaking the Glass Ceiling in ICT Leadership,” brings together two dynamic trailblazers in the field: Dr Elaine Van Wyk and Malebogo Khanda-Wiktor. This masterclass will unpack their experiences as women in ICT leadership, from navigating male-dominated environments to unlocking new growth pathways for women across Africa’s digital and innovation sectors.

Join us as they explore the challenges, share real-world success stories, and equip the next generation of women leaders with tools to rise, lead, and inspire in an ever-evolving ICT landscape.
