Digiterre Celebrates International Women's Day 2026

On International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the women across Digiterre who help make that happen every day. From leading complex transformation programmes to shaping client engagement and delivering expert consultancy, women across our business play a vital role in driving impact for our clients.

For more than 25 years, Digiterre has helped organisations deliver meaningful, lasting transformation. At the heart of those successful outcomes is something just as important as strategy and technology: people. Diverse perspectives, collaborative thinking, and inclusive teams are what turn ambitious programmes into real results.

We spoke with three members of the Digiterre team, Katie Lam (Engagement Manager), Rosy Henderson (Senior PMO Manager) and Ramona Maria Mohan (Senior Consultant), about their work in transformation, their experiences at Digiterre, and what it means to be a woman in technology in 2026.

Katie Lam – Engagement Manager

What’s a project or achievement you’re particularly proud of?

I’m proud of every project I work on, especially because of the people. Our Digiterre consultants, supporting teams, and client stakeholders who all share the same goal of delivering successful outcomes. Through collaboration and alignment on deliverables, we consistently achieve that goal, and that’s what makes me proud.

What makes transformation successful from your perspective?

Successful transformation happens when people are aligned around a shared vision and are genuinely committed to making it happen. For me, it’s the combination of clear goals, open communication, strong collaboration, and the trusting relationships built between Digiterre and stakeholders that ensures we can navigate challenges and deliver meaningful, lasting change.

What inspired you to pursue a career in technology?

I was inspired to pursue a career in technology because it’s one of the few fields where people and innovation come together. For me, technology is ultimately about empowering people, helping teams to work smarter and enabling meaningful change. The mix of building relationships and being people focussed, along with problem solving is what I’m passionate about in my role.

What has your experience been like as a woman in tech?

My experience as a woman in tech has been shaped by the people I’ve worked with. I’ve been lucky enough have spent most of my career at Digiterre where collaboration, respect, and shared goals matter more than labels. My opinion has always been heard and valued. It’s very rewarding to work alongside teams who appreciate diversity and root for each other’s success.

What advice would you give to women considering a career in technology?

My advice to women considering a career in technology is to go for it! Technology isn’t just about coding, it’s about people, problem solving, and enabling change, so there’s space for all types of people and skill sets.

Why is diversity important in technology and transformation teams?

Diversity is essential in technology and transformation teams because it brings a wider range of ideas, perspectives, and problem solving approaches. Teams that include people from different backgrounds and experiences are better equipped to understand all types of users, challenge assumptions, and build solutions that work for everyone.

What motivates you in your work?

What motivates me most in my work is the opportunity to be the glue that brings a project and its people together. As an Engagement Manager, I’m driven by building strong, trusting relationships with both client sponsors and consultants, and creating an environment where everyone feels motivated, productive, and connected. I love helping teams collaborate smoothly, stay aligned to shared goals, and ultimately feel supported in delivering something we can all be proud of.

Rosy Henderson – Senior PMO Manager

What’s a project or achievement you’re particularly proud of?

It’s hard to pick just one, partly because the bulk of my role isn’t broken up into distinct projects, but mainly because I try to put my best work into everything I do. The Digiterre values of Care and Quality mean – to me, and among other things – never handing a piece of work on to the next colleague, team, or stage, without being certain I couldn’t realistically have done it any better.

What makes transformation successful from your perspective?

I would define a successful transformation as one in which, by the end, everyone feels comfortable and “fluent” in the new environment. This is achieved through paying close attention to people’s needs, listening to the detail from everyone affected, and maintaining open communication throughout the process, in which everyone feels that their contributions are valuable.

What inspired you to pursue a career in technology?

I got here by chance but stayed because of the welcoming culture and the opportunities to learn and grow in a stable and caring environment. The vast majority of people I’ve worked with in the tech sector have been incredibly good at what they do, while also staying humble and willing to share their expertise and learn from others, aware that the field is constantly evolving and they’ll never “know it all”.

What has your experience been like as a woman in tech?

No one at Digiterre has ever made me feel different for being a woman or like I didn’t belong, I’m just getting on with it like everyone else. At times in the past I remember realising I was the only woman in the room, the only woman in the meeting, etc, but it’s very encouraging to see this happen less and less. I have always felt respected and valued, and that my colleagues want to see me do well.

What advice would you give to women considering a career in technology?

Give it a go! It’s a broad field, and there’s room for everyone. “Tech” is so much more than just tech – I don’t think of myself as a technical person, I can’t write a single line of code, but I still have a valuable and rewarding role in a tech company. Look at the kind of job/s you’d like to do, find people in those roles, and reach out to them. They’d probably be delighted to help you out with some pointers and maybe even mentoring.

Why is diversity important in technology and transformation teams?

For the same reasons it’s important anywhere – if you’ve only got half the population represented, you’re missing out on half the perspectives, half the skills, half the expertise. It’s also important in terms of visibility – if my daughter and her friends see me working in tech, then they know that’s something they could do as well, it’s not just for the boys (as I thought when I was growing up).

What motivates you in your work?

Making my colleagues’ day-to-day lives smoother and hopefully more enjoyable. A large part of my role is keeping our reporting cycle up to date and ticking over, and I really enjoy making sure it’s all correct down to the last little detail. I take pride in knowing the quality of work I put in contributes to a good reputation for my team and ultimately for Digiterre.

Ramona Maria Mohan – Senior Consultant

What’s a project or achievement you’re particularly proud of?

I’ve successfully led a UI project by creating the platform from scratch. I was happy to see my vision come to life according to the users’ needs.

What makes transformation successful from your perspective?

Transformation is successful when it’s not only being implemented, but followed even after you are no longer involved in the process. Longevity and sustainability are key aspects of transformation done right.

What inspired you to pursue a career in technology?

I naturally have two sides, a creative one and a scientific one. I feel like I am able to intertwine both in developing UI technology, where their coexistence is not only acceptable, but needed.

What has your experience been like as a woman in tech?

While it’s great being a woman in tech, I don’t believe it should be sensationalised or treated any differently. Some people might not expect me to have role that I have, but that’s only because it is still being viewed as unique or unnatural. After all, anyone can have a technology-driven mindset.

What advice would you give to women considering a career in technology?

I would advise to listen to your inner voice, not any external ones. No one knows your experience and your dreams better than you do.

Why is diversity important in technology and transformation teams?

In the context of International Women’s Day, young girls might feel like they have someone to look up to and aspire to be like when they see women with positions within tech teams. That can be very inspiring and powerful.

What motivates you in your work?

I am highly motivated by the feedback I get from the users, especially in transformative projects when they describe how good the interfaces look and how much their experience has changed for the better using the systems I build. It feels rewarding to know that I’ve eased many people’s day to day job.
