Fireside chat: Learn anything by building with Amber Winton (NextWork)
Join us for an intimate fireside chat between Mahesh Muralidhar and the amazing Amber Winton, who will share the inspirational story of building NextWork, hosted by KiwiHacks & Startup Club NZ!
In 2015, during her high school days in Palmerston North, Amber Winton asked her brother to teach her to code. He discouraged her, so she joined her school's senior digital technologies class instead. After studying software engineering at Victoria University of Wellington, she built a Salesforce training business on her own, eventually becoming NextWork in 2023. Today NextWork has more than 200,000 learners around the world who use it to learn the skills for the careers they truly want, and the team moved from Wellington to Austin, TX this year.
On Monday 23 November, Amber sits down with Mahesh Muralidhar (newly elected MP for Tāmaki, early Canva leader and CEO of Phase One Ventures) to tell the story of moving across the world to build a global learning community. The floor then opens for you to ask questions.
