In our first Game changers video we feature ‘woman in tech’ Jenny Griffiths, founder of Snap Fashion.
What exactly defines a game changer? One description would be something of an amalgamation of a visionary, a business leader and a real inspiration for others. Bring such traits together and you have yourself an individual with the potential to change the way we look at and think about the way things are done… changing the ‘game’ for the better.
Where certain key industries are dominated by certain genders, age groups, ethnicities or anything else, it’s often down to game changers to show that change is both possible and beneficial.
What is it like for a woman in tech?
Though clearly of the belief that women in business do have to work harder than men to succeed, Jenny believes it to be somewhat different with technology.
‘If you write good code no one cares if you’re a man or a woman’
The technology industry is all about results – if you develop outstanding coding on the back of a great idea, it makes no difference if you are male, female, young or old – a real meritocracy.
She does, however, admit that if she had the opportunity to start again, she would probably choose to bring a co-founder into the equation for additional support along the way.
And while she has no idea what the future of the fashion industry or consumer technology has in store, she’s genuinely excited about the potential of her business across many markets.
