Shift Left Limited

Is your organisation hiring brilliant women in tech – but struggling to keep them? You’ve invested in early careers programmes. You’ve got diversity at junior levels – and even a few women at the top. But at mid-level, they’re quietly disappearing. You’re seeing: • High-potential women stalling mid-career • A reluctance to apply for leadership roles • Confidence gaps – even when performance is strong • Promotion processes that don’t reflect the talent in the pipeline • Quiet exits that take valuable knowledge out the door These are the challenges I help tech organisations solve. I work with leadership teams to: Retain and progress top female tech talent Build leadership pathways that actually work Coach women into roles they’ve been overlooked for – without burning them out Strengthen leadership presence, impact and visibility Design practical, culture-fit programmes that shift how women are seen – and how they see themselves Why work with me? I spent over 30 years in the tech industry – from developer to UK & I Ops Director for a global PayTech firm. I’ve seen what keeps women stuck. I’ve lived it. And I’ve coached hundreds out of it – into roles they never thought were available to them. I bring real-world tech leadership experience – not just coaching credentials – to every programme and partnership. What changes? Women step into leadership roles and stay Mid-level attrition slows – and progression accelerates Leadership pipelines reflect the talent already in your teams Your organisation becomes known for backing its women – not burning them out If your team is serious about moving beyond “good intentions” – and building leadership that includes and retains the women already driving results – we should talk.
