In this seventh capsule of our Brilliantly Branded Podcast mini-series, we’re happy to feature Alexandrea Swanson, Managing Director of #SheTransformsIT. Alexandrea is on a mission to increase the number of women in STEM—not just at an early age but also throughout their careers, ensuring they stay in tech and grow into leadership roles.
