Empowering Women in AI Careers

What does it take to build a career in AI? That was the question on everyone's mind at SG Women in Tech's Empowering Women in AI Careers panel on 30 March 2026 in Singapore 💡

I joined the panel organised by IMDA in conjunction with International Women's Day month. Alongside fellow panelists Siti Nuruljannah Baharudin and Beatrice Yap, brilliantly moderated by Soo-Lin Lee from Sponsors In Tech, we got into the real stuff - the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the support from the community and one another.

The Energy in the Room

What stood out to me most was the energy ✨ Everyone showing up with curiosity and courage.

The speed mentoring sessions were a highlight, with leaders from AI Singapore, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Workato, ServiceNow, and TwinMatrix Technologies (tmt) sharing real, practical advice. These weren't abstract career tips - they were grounded in the day-to-day realities of building in AI.

Give to Gain

The theme of the afternoon was "Give to Gain," and I felt that spirit in every conversation 💛

When we invest in lifting others, we all rise. It's not just a nice sentiment - it's how real communities are built. The women in that room weren't just looking for advice; they were ready to pay it forward.

Gratitude for the Builders

A huge thank you to Dorcas Tan and the SGWIT, AISG, AWS and partner teams - Grace Zeng, Ting Fu, Dorothy Tan, Ging N, Stephanie Chua, Damian Lien, Lennie Leong, Malcolm Koh, Arlene Koh, and Karan Jhaveri - for making this happen 👏

Events like this don't just happen. They're the result of people who care deeply about opening doors and creating space for others to step through.

Opening Doors

I'm proud to be part of a community that's opening doors for women in tech and AI 🚀

What's one moment where someone opened a door for you? I'd love to hear your story. Because when we share those moments, we remind each other what's possible - and we inspire the next person to do the same.

Together, we rise. More soon 🙏
