Suki Fuller, founder of Miribure, discusses the power of advocacy to improve gender and ethnic diversity in tech, unpacks the importance of storytelling in data, and explains why we should dispel the myth that tech is a “highfalutin career path”.
In this episode, Fuller shares her experience as a woman and person of colour working in tech and why it’s important to raise awareness “every single day with everything you do”. She explains how she “struggles” with the dichotomy of needing labels like ‘women in tech’ to highlight that change is needed, despite male entrepreneurs not being described in the same way.
Fuller founded Miribure in 2015. It provides advice to businesses from startups to multinationals on how to mitigate risks. In addition to founding Miribure, Fuller is the co-lead of the Tech London Advocates Women in Tech and the co-chair of the Global Tech Advocates Black Women in Tech. She is also a fellow at the Council of Competitive Intelligence Fellows and was voted Computer Weekly’s ‘2023 Most Influential Woman in UK Tech’.
