Our leaders
Sheridan Ash, MBE
Founder and CEO, Tech She Can
To help address the nationwide problem of too few women in technology roles, I founded Tech She Can and am now its CEO. My vision is for women to play an equal role in creating and developing the technology businesses, products, and services that will ultimately shape our world, and make sure that technology works for all.
I was previously Technology & Innovation Leader at PwC, leading its digital transformation strategy, including assessing and using AI and other emerging technologies in the firm and its clients.
My work is recognised by the technology industry and I was recently named as the most influential women in tech 2024 by Computer Weekly. Other recognition includes, IT Leaders 100 list of the most influential IT leaders in the UK in 2024. One of the 30 most influential women in Cyber 2021. TechUK President's Award 2023. Forward Ladies Business Women of the Year and Social Impact Leader of the Year in 2022 and the UK Tech awards for contribution to society 2023. Awarded an MBE in Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2020 for services to young girls and women through technology.
Robyn Howard
Deputy CEO
I joined Tech She Can from PwC (one of our founding members) in which my experience covered Student Recruitment, Employer Branding, Tech Marketing and working to inform PwC’s Women in Tech internal strategy and engagement.
I helped to commission the initial 'Time to close the gender gap' research in 2017, which helped to inform the creation of Tech She Can and have been involved since its inception. Creating Tech She Can as its own separate charity is one of my proudest moments and I am delighted to support Sheridan to lead the charity’s mission.
As a parent, and from my own personal experience, I’m extremely passionate about the future of the world our children are being born into. Providing aspiration and pathways that are not immediately available and obvious to them is what drives me. The gender imbalance particularly in the technology workforce is stark and still requires intervention and support, and, for me, it all comes down to providing the education our children deserve.
