What advice would you give to women starting off their careers,

aspiring to enter the tech/business field?

Maryann Maina: As the Co-Founder and Director of Whizmo, I am

deeply passionate about the vast potential and opportunities that lie

ahead for women in the tech and business sectors. My advice to those

embarking on their careers is straightforward yet essential: trust in your

abilities and believe in your unique value. The path may not always be

linear, but perseverance, a commitment to continuous learning, and the

courage to forge meaningful connections will be your greatest assets.

Surround yourself with mentors who not only guide you but challenge

you to grow and evolve. Take calculated risks—embracing opportunities

to step outside your comfort zone is often where the most significant

growth occurs.

In the realm of technology, and particularly in the fintech space,

innovation thrives through the courage to think differently. Whizmo, for

example, was born from the ambition to disrupt traditional financial

interactions, offering an intuitive, secure, and user-centric solution. As a

woman in tech, your unique perspective is not just valuable—it is

transformative. Embrace it, push the boundaries of what’s possible, and

never underestimate the profound impact you can have.
