Yasmin is Head of Connected Technology Academy at KPMG, a role that allows her to break down barriers for women and young people coming into the tech industry and educating through outreach activity in schools, colleges and universities and her work with KidsCode in the Leeds region.
She’s a powerful voice in the Leeds tech community and is committed to helping people feel empowered to take the leap into tech, regardless of background and experience. Yasmin is a Board Member at WILD Digital, Maggie’s Cancer Centres and Yorkshire Dance, and a School Governor.
“The Leeds tech ecosystem is so unique and is a wonderful community to be a part of and something that has given so much to me over the years, whether that be friendship, support in my career and lots of opportunity. It’s something we should be proud of as a region and the strides we have taken over the years, from tech unicorns, entrepreneurs, watching new businesses grow and others land local hubs in the region, we have certainly cemented ourselves as a thriving hub to be reckoned with.”
