TOP-10 Women in Cloud Computing in Poland

The ten best experts working in Poland related to cloud technologies and one winner awarded with the unique title of Cloud Diversity and Inclusion were selected by the jury chaired by Magdalena Dziewguć, Country Director at Google Cloud Poland. The results were announced on June 14, 2023, during the evening gala at the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit 2023 conference.

Cloud technologies have seen massive growth recently, and Poland is no exception. The cloud revolutionizes the economy and simplifies our everyday life and work. As more and more companies move their operations to the cloud, the demand for qualified specialists in this field is growing. While men traditionally dominate the technology industry, many women in Poland contribute significantly to cloud technologies. In recognition of their achievements, the Perspektywy Education Foundation has prepared a list of the Top 100 Women in Cloud Computing.

The announcement of an unranked list of experts working in the hottest technological areas traditionally accompanies the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit conference. This year, exceptional women professionally dealing with the issues of cloud technologies were presented, and they were not only Polish women but also foreigners working in Poland.

“Women are not only essential to the development and success of cloud computing, but they are an integral part of shaping its future. Their diverse perspectives and innovative ideas are of crucial importance in creating a more inclusive and fair digital world for everyone,” – said Dr. Bianka Siwińska, president of the Perspektywy Education Foundation, originator of the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit conference and the TOP-100 Women rankings.

This year’s list was created with the help of experts from the Information Processing Center – National Research Institute (OPI PIB) in May this year, and it was from it that the jury selected the best experts professionally dealing with the field of cloud technologies. The selection was based on their professional achievements in the area, contributions to the industry, and their potential to influence and shape the future of cloud computing. The list includes women from all walks of life, including academia, industry, business, and the public sector. Here they are:

Software engineer at the Google office in Warsaw since September 2019. She graduated in Computer Science from Ain Shams University in Cairo in 2015. Previously, she worked as a software engineer at Orange Labs in Cairo and Wizeline in Guadalajara. Living on three continents has made her believe that everyone sometimes feels like they don’t fit in. She says: “I was different and always questioned the rules. I know what it’s like to feel like a stranger, and everyone should accept and emphasize their differences. When people with different backgrounds come together, they can create something special.” Salsabeel draws from her professional experience that diversity can create a more dynamic and productive workplace, while an environment devoid of diversity misses out on great people who could prove themselves and feel included in co-creating new things.
