GAL TALKS TECH is your source of inspiration around women and tech powered by Berlin-based female empowerment driven and tech-loving gal Christina. We aim to spotlight diverse success stories from all over the world – one interview at a time. For us tech is a tool of new opportunities – for women to overcome geographical or workplace challenges, create new businesses or transform their daily lives.
You might think there are already many stages for women, yet we have an amazing network of women who we feel are not yet in the spotlight enough. This is where we come in!
Every project starts with an idea…

Aileen
Aileen is a young and curious woman always looking for interesting conversations and new things to learn about. As a recent graduate with a degree in International Business from Maastricht University, she set out to find a role within the field of sustainability and humanitarian development. To help her navigate both of these broad fields, Aileen started reaching out to individuals via LinkedIn and set up Zoom calls to gain a better understanding of the field and what tips they may have to get to where they are now. Each conversation was unique and she learned something new from everyone.
That is also what fascinated her most about Gal Talks Tech, is the variety of interesting women that came together to share their thoughts and experiences. Aileen quickly realized through her own conversations how important tech is in promoting sustainability efforts and human development and therefore wants to support Gal Talks Tech’s Mission: To promote female role models in tech!
Aileen is currently working for Kiva, a microfinance tech nonprofit based in the USA while working for a bioplastic startup, Puro Bioplastics. She is curious to see what her next career steps will be, but is constantly learning from great role models such as the Gals from Gal Talks Tech.
