What will be your most valuable contribution to your TechWomen host company?
I'm moroccan, I studied and worked in France for 10 years, I was full-time employee in a big company, I stopped working for three years so that I could create my company. I'm a mother of three girls and in working with kids all these experiences have helped me start thinking out of the box; creating new ideas and managing differently.
