Episode 25 - Supporting Women in Tech with Cajigo

·28 min·1 clip

Moon Pig opens this episode by doing something a little different: for International Women’s Day, the show brings in its first external guest. Ariella and Richard introduce Rav Dunbra and set up a conversation about bringing more women into technology. Rav starts with her background and says she has worked in tech for about 28 years. Her early career moved through consulting and technology recruitment. Over time, she saw that too few women were entering or moving up in the industry, so she left a highly paid consulting career and built her own business. She describes herself as the founder of Structured People, a diversity consultancy that helps leaders and businesses attract and retain women in technology. The discussion then turns to the outreach work the team does with schools and businesses. Rav talks about helping students meet real role models from the industry. The aim is not just to inspire in the abstract, but to give people a believable sense of what a career in technology can look like. AI and data come up as part of that picture. Rav says young people need to hear that these systems are built by people, and that the people behind them matter. She also says schools are not talking about these topics enough, which leaves a gap in understanding. The episode also looks at who should be part of this kind of outreach. Rav says relatable role models matter, especially young women from the industry who are willing to mentor students through STEM career talks. She also makes room for men in the conversation, arguing that the tech industry is still mostly male and that there is a lot to learn from that experience and knowledge. The tone stays practical and collaborative throughout. Later, the conversation returns to mentoring and personal development. Rav says people should not think of mentoring as only a one-to-one arrangement. She believes in having mentors across different parts of life. She shares that she stays in constant touch with about five mentors. She encourages listeners to think about having more than three mentors and to look for support outside their immediate circle. The episode closes by pointing listeners toward Kajigo’s mission and offering details in the podcast description. What stays with the listener is a straightforward argument: widening participation in tech starts with visibility, plain language, and access to the right people.
