Industry Spotlight 💡

Meet Dew 👋🏾

Biomedicine Grad turned Technology Analyst for a global Bank 👩🏽‍💻

Day in the life?

My day-to-day activities mostly include providing support within the Organizational Excellence team in Global Operations and Automations (GO&A) Technology, where I collaborate with my manager on People and Culture initiatives, focusing on learning development and recognition culture. My role involves curating learning pathways, recommending readings and trainings to support the creation of learning materials. Additionally, I assist with the end-to-end GO&A Tech CIO Awards process and contribute to producing achievement videos for the quarterly All Hands meetings, helping to strengthen the recognition culture within the organization.

Where are you based?

Leaving London for Sheffield was like entering an entirely different world. The constant rush and noise of London is very different to Sheffield’s calmer and quiet streets. I enjoy taking walks up the city’s hills, where I can exercise and enjoy the scenic views from the hilltop. The modern architecture of my office location stands out, offering a unique and vibrant atmosphere. The office’s colourful and open environment is a refreshing contrast to the corporate spaces I had known in London.

Tips & Advice?

I would encourage anyone considering a similar path to always keep an open mind, stay optimistic, and embrace the opportunity to learn new things. Cultivating a sense of appreciation can be a powerful motivator, helping to maintain momentum and perseverance throughout the journey. Also, get ready to learn a whole plethora of acronyms!

PS: Learn more about Dew’s role through a 4-day PAID insight programme.
