BCSWomen Lovelace Colloquium 2023 Keynote Talk Gillian Arnold

Gillian Arnold is the current president of the BCS, and has been a supporter of the BCSWomen Lovelace Colloquium since the start. She gave our keynote in Bath, in 2012, when she was chair of BCSWomen, but as it's been more than 10 years and she's now president of the entire BCS organisation we thought we'd invite her back.
Gillian founded and runs her own IT Training and Diversity Recruitment company, Tectre, which helps women find technology roles. Before this she worked at IBM where she held senior tech, marketing, sales and consultancy roles. As well as being president of BCS, she currently leads the CEPIS (Council of European Professional Informatics Societies) Women in Tech Taskforce, working across greater Europe. She has won numerous accolades for her work on Women in Tech including the 2012 Cisco/Everywoman In Technology award; Inclusion Inspiration of the year, an entry in the Computer Weekly Hall of Fame, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Bath.
