Navigating Career Transitions: From Technical Expert to Strategic Leader

As the year draws to a close, many accomplished women find themselves reflecting not just on what they’ve achieved, but on how they can step into roles where their voices carry further, their impact grows, and their leadership inspires others.

Yet making the leap from being a trusted technical expert to a strategic, influential leader can be both exciting and daunting. The path isn’t always clearly marked, especially in industries where women remain underrepresented at senior levels.
