Data, machine learning and AI augments impact across sectors, creating life changing technologies that transform how we live, work and play.

But to drive meaningful change, we need equitable representation among the leaders driving its evolution.

That's why Solmaz Shahalizadeh, Shopify's former Head of Data Science and Engineering, became a Founding Partner of Backbone Angels: investing in women and non-binary founders with a focus on investments in Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour-led companies.

She joins us to share why great career paths aren't linear, what you need to know to impress investors, and the difference between sponsors and mentors (and why you should have both).

This episode is for you if:

  • You’re a woman in STEM
  • You want to understand why data is so important
  • You’re a founder who wants to leave a good impression on investors
  • You want to advance in your career but don’t know how to approach people for help
