As the Women in Tech Trade Mission comes to a close, I’m filled with gratitude as I reflect on the incredible experiences from the past week. Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Grace Hopper Conference as part of the Women in Tech Trade Mission. It was fantastic to hear from inspiring speakers and connect with so many talented women in technology. The energy and passion in the room were contagious! ♀? Our final event was a "Meet the Brits" reception in Philly at the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, where we had the chance to meet dignitaries, diplomats, and fellow entrepreneurs. It was a fantastic way to end an incredible week! I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Department for Business and Trade and the British Consulate General for selecting Rubicon Bridge for this mission. The invaluable insights and opportunities we’ve gained have been exceptional?? A special shout-out to Shree for putting together such a diverse and exciting agenda packed full of opportunities and to Sydney for showing us the best spots in Philadelphia— a city full of history! Spending time with my fellow mission delegates, an amazing group of women running phenomenal businesses, has been inspiring. We are determined to be the cohort that truly supports one another, and I can’t wait to see how we collaborate when we return to the UK.?? I leave the USA with immense gratitude to DBT, a bigger network, and exciting prospects for Rubicon Bridge Ltd as we continue our expansion into the U.S. market.

Thanks to Temple University CIBER and the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia for organizing this event on the Global Movement of Labor. It was wonderful to serve as a panelist with Fatima Sanz under the super moderation of Lauren Swartz. The questions from the audience were stimulating, especially those from the high school students. https://lnkd.in/ehfPPbWr

Today's event with the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia has been eye opening! Fatima Sanz and Ram Mudambi have vast expertise but somewhat different approaches to immigration, labor markets, and public policy. How can the US better match skilled migrant workers, entrepreneurs, and talented creators to fill key shortages in our labor force? Grateful to Lauren Swartz for moderating, Fox School of Business at Temple University for hosting and Jeffrey Conradi for the nudge to attend. Lots of fantastic ideas shared today! #WACPHL #CIBER #InternationalBusiness
