Born in the Soviet Union, raised in Israel, and now based in Colorado, Ala shares how her global journey shaped her career in tech, her path into leadership, and what it really takes to leave the 9-to-5 and build something from the ground up. In this episode, we talk about identity, reinvention, building with AI, and the deeply human side of software.You can learn more about Wisary here: https://wisary.ai/
