WITW Opening “Leading with Care”
Kick off Women IT Week 2026 with Tanya Aulachynskaya in an insightful conversation about how role models shape leadership through example and influence. Tanya will share:
How she navigated complex choices, drawing on her role models and personal principles.
How she grew into a leader others - especially women - look up to in tech.
Stories of challenges faced as a woman and mother, and lessons learned along the way.
This session highlights tangible ways women can lead with care, not by staying in their comfort zone, but by applying lessons from diverse role models, inspiring and supporting others, demonstrating resilience, and shaping accountable, high-performing teams while navigating work-life balance.
