We’re joined by Elmaret Brewer, a Lead Service Manager, at Zühlke.
Elmaret brings a fresh and inspiring perspective, having transitioned into tech from a background in sports coaching and leadership.
Her journey is a testament to how transferable skills—like team dynamics, communication, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous improvement—can be just as critical as technical know-how in driving success in tech delivery.
In this video, we explore how broadening the definition of “tech talent” can unlock new pathways into the industry and create more inclusive, high-performing teams.
In this video we ask Elmaret the following questions:
- What inspired your move from sports coaching into tech?
- How have your leadership skills translated into tech project delivery?
- What challenges did you face switching industries, and how did you overcome them?
- Why do you think soft skills are often underrated in tech?
- What advice would you give to others coming into tech from non-traditional paths?
