In this podcast, we interview Brenda Niehaus, the Chief Information Officer of Standard Bank Group. In this episode she talks about her time at Standard Bank, her plans for phase 2 of her life and the skills she had to develop over the years. She is one of the few women in Tech.

Women in Tech

Women in Tech is a major theme here at Langerman Panta Rhei. Women are vastly under-represented and access to their skills is a loss for our industry.

See Prof. Judy Backhouse's view on this. Where are the women in Tech?

Other women in IT we interviewed are:

• Rika Gertenbach (CIO)
• Tanya Momberg (Relationship Manager)
