The final episode of the Women in Telecoms podcast explores how the next generation of leaders can shape a more inclusive, visible, and human telecoms industry.
Hosted by Natalie Strange, the discussion features Kerry Travers, Channel Partner Director EMEA at Dubber; Obiageli Okafor of 8x8 and PMHelp; and Maxine Eunson, Head of Public Sector at 8x8.
Together, they discuss why representation matters for women entering telecoms. Young people are more likely to pursue opportunities when they can see people like them succeeding in senior roles.

The panel also considers how the industry can better communicate its wider impact - not only the technology and infrastructure behind it, but the people, services, and communities it enables.
The conversation looks at how leadership is changing. Rather than being the loudest person in the room, effective leaders listen, show empathy, collaborate, and create space for others to contribute.
