The value of the tech sector is growing exponentially. A decade ago only one out of the top ten companies in the world by market capitalisation was a tech company. Today, seven out of the top ten are tech companies.

Many smart non-technical professionals want to benefit from the tech sector boom but making the transition can be hard.

Sophia Matveeva made the transition into tech successfully herself. She now runs the Tech for Non-Techies community, where she teaches online courses and speaks to executives who have transitioned into and flourished in technology.

She will cover:

• Three pathways to transition into tech
• What you need to know about the tech sector to make a successful transition
• Tried and tested methods to make yourself stand out

Sophia Matveeva is the founder of Enty, a retail tech platform that connects consumers, stylists and brands. The company won App of the Day by Mashable, and Grazia named Enty one of the ‘world’s best fashion tech startups’. Sophia also runs the Tech For Non-Techies education community.

Sophia has contributed to the Financial Times, The Guardian and Forbes on entrepreneurship and technology, and has guest lectured at Chicago Booth and London Business School.

She has also advised Chicago Booth’s New Venture Challenge and the Microsoft x London College of Fashion incubator.

She holds an MBA from Chicago Booth, and a BSc (Hons) in Politics from Bristol.

Positioning yourself to catch the attention of recruiters while “doing the day job” can be quite a challenge. In this session, Jason Starr, himself a Public Company Director, will explain what to expect as you go through a search, and will discuss steps that can be taken to maximize your chance of success at each stage.
