Women Who Made It In Tech In 2022

2022 has been an amazing year for the tech sector; a post-COVID spending boom hit the globe and we've seen a plethora of great products hit the market in its wake. The year has also been a notable one for women in the tech space.

Notoriously underrepresented, years of women's advocacy within tech seem to be paying off as several women made strides within different companies and tech niches. As we round off the year, here are some female names in the tech sector for 2022.

Gabrielė Montvilė, Chief Customer Officer at Oxylabs is an ambitious leader within the alternative data industry and has been working in the technology sector for more than 8 years. Throughout her career, Gabriele had an opportunity to work at some of the world's best-known and customer-focused technology companies in the world, including Microsoft & Salesforce.

Gabrielė's area of expertise lies in B2B customer experience, account management, and customer success. She started as the Head of Account Management at Oxylabs and was rewarded for her efforts with the position of Chief Customer Officer in 2022. Her team's diligent work has led Oxylabs to be named the fastest-growing public web data-gathering solutions company in Europe in the Financial Times' FT 1000 list.

In the world of tech, not only is she achieving company-level goals and driving the company towards success, but also dedicates her time to promoting women's leadership in technology through her volunteering activities in workshops and events.

Jenny Yang is a veteran advisor, investor and entrepreneur in the Web3.0 space. With a passion to create and become the driving force for change, she has developed a strong interest in disruptive technologies after working as a financial journalist for years.

She started her journey in the tech space in 2017 and has since founded her Web3 media outlet BlockGlobe, Web3.0 solution provider Star Consulting and launched incubating platform Starlabs Incubator and Global Disruptors Summit, featuring most prominent Web3.0 leaders. She was a chosen participant of the elite 30 Women of RiseUP Program of Money 2020.

"There is nothing that excites me more than seeing the projects I advise or incubate or invest in grow bigger and bring more value, opportunities and freedom to more people," Jenny Yang says.

Monika Sviderskė, Marketing Lead at Lossless stepped into the tech scene in 2017 and immediately proved herself irreplaceable. Through unique advertising campaigns, Monika has helped numerous startups carve out their niche and stand out in competitive markets.

As Marketing Lead at Lossless, she has positioned the company's threat monitoring and mitigation tools within an industry that places a premium on rapid innovation and decentralization. By shaping the narrative, Monika has pushed the industry towards embracing Web3 security architecture and has grown the project's community by 58% in a single year. Before Lossless, Monika has also proved her expertise in developing communications strategies at Lithuania's IT association INFOBALT and leading marketing initiatives at Eskimi, one of the fastest-growing AdTech startups today.

"Lossless has everything a CMO can wish for: disruptive tech, rapid growth, and a purpose. Instead of naked profiteering, we develop security tools that prevent financial loss. Instead of empty sloganeering, we lead authentic campaigns that forge deeper bonds with our clients."

Alice Stork, Co-Founder of InCryptoland is an expert in strategic communications and marketing, with more than 7 years of experience in technology and media.

While getting an MBA in International Marketing, she served as Senior Business Developer at Cointelegraph, where she was able to work with major companies such as Binance, Coinbase, and IBM Blockchain. Having developed a strong understanding of strategic communications and an extensive network within the sector, she launched InCryptoland, a full-stack marketing and PR agency for web 3.0 companies. Started as a PR agency & Advertising network, in 2022 InCryptoland expanded its partnerships and services to CMO-as-a-service, sports and celebrity marketing to meet the communications needs of fast-growing web 3.0 startups.

This year Alice stepped in as a PR coach at Botanica camp, which helps established specialists to redirect their career into the web 3.0 space. She actively supports women in tech by providing PR support to female entrepreneurs and organizing network meetups. Alice's advice for women: "Don't get intimidated by thinking that tech is a male-dominated industry, especially web 3.0 and cryptocurrency, as relatively young industries are actually quite welcoming and supportive of women or people with any backgrounds if you share the same disruptive mission to build a better future."

Ox Bid has become a champion of women's education in the emerging technologies of Web3, and the ways they can tap into the financial benefits of DeFi. After being introduced to crypto-currency in 2013 by her partner, she is now committed to educating women on crypto, Web3 technology, and how they can use it to financially empower themselves.

When designing her platform, Bolide, Ox has placed a focus on user accessibility in order to carry forward her values of democratising access to investment tools and bringing new players into the market.

"The market is very complex, not easy to understand for everyone, especially without a tech background. I found it even more difficult because of how people talk about it. I had no technical experience, but I have been in this market for quite a long time. I can tell you about it in simple words. Now even my mother understood what bitcoin is. Therefore I recently organised a special educational event in London focusing on women's adoption of crypto and the web3 market, in order to help as many women as possible to integrate into this new financial reality and be able to open wallets, keep their assets safe and if they want to start trading in crypto!"
