GeekGirl Meets Lauren Maffeo, Senior Content Analyst at GetApp

There are some women that GeekGirl keeps missing! Honestly, we have relationships with women entirely through social who we've never been able to meet! And Lauren is one of these awesome ladies! One of our first remote interviews, GeekGirl was delighted to be joined by Lauren from 'Over the Pond'. Lauren has done a fair bit - we're pretty darn impressed! Her career and studies have taken her around the world, and she has a clear love of travel. She started her career as a freelance reporter covering tech trends in London for The Next Web and The Guardian, and now covers the impact of tech trends like AI on small business owners for GetApp, a Gartner company. In 2017 she helped organize Women Startup Challenge - Europe's largest venture capital competition for women-led startups, and was named to The Drum's 50 Under 30 list of women worth watching in digital in 2017. She's also spoken at events and venues on three continents, including the British Embassy in Washington, DC, and The Global Talent Summit at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. We get her top tips for putting yourself forward and chasing the opportunities ahead of you! There's a load of great advice in here from Lauren and you can reach her on Twitter @laurenmaffeo.
