We’re thrilled to announce that Yasmin Ahmad, our Junior Cyber Exercise Planner, successfully graduated from the Empowering Women to Lead Cyber Security Programme this December!
Here’s what she had to say…
“I’m very proud to have completed the Empowering Women to Lead Cyber Security programme, a unique initiative delivered by ‘Empowering You’ in partnership with techUK and the Government Security Group in the Cabinet Office.
“This cross-sector leadership programme brought together women from diverse industries within cyber security and resilience, fostering a strong and collaborative community of female leaders. Throughout the programme, I focused on enhancing my leadership skills, adaptability, and confidence.
“Key learning points included becoming a more inspirational role model for women and girls, building the confidence to influence change, and strengthening my ability to lead with impact. I also had the opportunity to contribute to a national project that supports both the business community and society at large.
“This milestone represents so much more than completing a course, it’s a critical step in my journey as a career changer entering the cybersecurity field. When I made the decision to transition into cybersecurity, I knew it would be a challenging yet rewarding path.
“In the early stages of my career as a Junior Cyber Exercise Planner, I’m not only focused on building technical skills, but also on developing the leadership abilities that will support a long-lasting career in this field and with Inzpire. The programme has provided me with practical tools, actionable strategies and a supportive community of like-minded women.
“It’s helped me build confidence and really think about my long-term aspirations as a female leader in cyber. I’ve gained a clearer understanding of what it means to lead, not in a technical capacity, but as someone who can inspire others, drive innovation, and help shape the future of the industry.
“One of the most valuable aspects of the program has been the connections I’ve made with others who share the same passion for cybersecurity. Learning from their experiences and perspectives and guest speakers has reaffirmed my belief in the power of mentorship and collaboration as critical components of personal and professional growth.”
Congratulations Yasmin! We can’t wait to see where your career takes you at Inzpire.
