Reintroducing Katrina Young: Unveiling the Journey of Innovation and Self Empowerment

Hello there, dear readers! It's me, Katrina Young, and I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to this reinvigorating journey into the world of innovation, technology, and empowerment. πŸš€βœ¨

As a woman in tech, a returner, a futurist, and a proud mom, my journey has been nothing short of exhilarating. Over the years, I've worn many hats, achieved milestones, and embarked on transformative ventures. Today, I want to share my story, my vision, and the exciting path that lies ahead.

The Visionary Woman in Tech

I've always believed that technology is a tool that can empower us to shape a better future. My career in the tech industry has been a testament to this belief. I've had the privilege of being named one of the top 40 Digital UK Women to watch in 2020, a recognition that I hold close to my heart. It's a nod to the incredible potential that lies within each of us, regardless of gender, to make a lasting impact in the tech world.

A Futurist's Journey

Innovation and the future have always been intertwined in my journey. I've been fortunate to be selected as a finalist for the Innovation Champion Award at the 2023 Black Tech Achievement Awards. This nomination isn't just about recognition; it's a testament to the power of forward-thinking, where innovation and technology converge to shape our world. πŸŒπŸ†

The Returner's Tale

My journey includes a return to the tech landscape after a brief hiatus. Returning to tech was a decision rooted in passion and a commitment to innovation. Since 2016, I've been transparent about the ups and downs of consulting, running an agency, and the importance of maintaining well-being throughout the process. It's a journey I continue to embrace, for it's through these experiences that growth and transformation happen.

The CTO Projects

One of the most thrilling aspects of my journey has been delving into Chief Technology Officer (CTO) projects. As a CTO, I've been deeply involved in software development projects, where innovation and technology intersect to create transformative solutions. These projects have reinforced my belief in the power of technology to drive change and create opportunities.

Raising the Bar: A Focus on Raising

"Preparing to Raise" is not just a tagline; it's a mission. I've dedicated a significant part of my journey to supporting founders in their quest to raise funds and realise their visions. Guiding ventures and startups, delving deep into software development projects as a CTO, and supporting SMEs and enterprises in adopting emerging technologies have been key facets of my journey.

A Multifaceted Consultant and Strategist

My role as a Strategic Business Venture Consultant and Online Innovation/Technology Enabler has allowed me to work across diverse sectors. From construction and healthcare to luxury and education, I've had the privilege of contributing to various industries. These experiences have enriched my perspective and deepened my commitment to innovation.

The Path Forward

As I look ahead, I'm excited to announce that we will be running workshops and immersions, providing opportunities for individuals and organisations to tap into the transformative power of technology and innovation. These initiatives are not just about knowledge transfer; they're about empowering you to drive change in your own spheres.
