Background

About Gemma Harrison

I am a dynamic and adaptable Software Engineering Leader with a proven track record of building, leading and managing large engineering and cross-functional teams. I am adept at crafting and executing strategic visions to drive significant impact across organisations. I am a strong communicator and collaborator, skilled at understanding and translating customer requirements into high-quality, resilient solutions. I am passionate about fostering growth mindset and developing inclusive, high-performance teams. Over the past few years I built and led teams up to 30 people, both defining and building new products and finding ways to reduce maintenance costs on legacy products. I proactively developed my team and mentored a range of people in the broader tech community, and played an active role in senior leadership teams. At the core of my professional ethos lies the advocacy for women in technology, fostering an environment where minority genders can thrive. Through collaboration and people development, my goal is to continuously push the boundaries of innovation while nurturing the next generation of tech talent.
