Anna McDougall is an engineering director, TEDx speaker, Google Women Techmakers Ambassador, and author of "You Belong in Tech". She grew up in Sydney, Australia, and started coding as a kid: making websites as early as 1995 with HTML in Notepad. After working in marketing and project management, she made her first career change, completing a Masters of Music and moving to Germany to pursue a career as an opera singer. At 32, she rediscovered her love for code and technology and made the switch to software engineering. She quickly discovered her mix of technical, stage, and social skills made her perfect for technical advocacy. She now works as Director, Product and Engineering (Projects and Organisation) for the tech subsidiary of Europe's largest media publisher, Axel Springer National Media & Tech, based in Berlin, Germany. Her work involves coding across multiple teams and projects, general engineering management, and strategic consulting to continuously push for progress in Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. In addition, she loves to speak at events regularly and run workshops for engineers on how best to present their ideas and projects to the public.
