Over the past few years, I’ve learned that the biggest growth doesn’t happen when you wait until you’re 100% ready.

It happens when you step into opportunities and figure it out along the way.

That’s exactly how I created my own AI role within my organization.

In my talks, I focus on how to take ownership when things aren’t fully clear yet, whether in AI adoption or in your own career.

My sessions are practical, honest, and focused on action over theory.

A single mother of five, Victoria built her expertise the only way she knows how — out of necessity.

Her content series, "Nobody's Coming, Save Yourself" and "Raising Them Kids," has resonated with hundreds of thousands of parents navigating the same reality.

With 15+ years of professional experience spanning nonprofit, real estate, insurance, and communications — and systems work with 200+ organizations since 2019 — Victoria brings operational precision to a space that's usually ruled by Pinterest aesthetics. She's proof that the systems you build to survive can become the systems you teach to change lives.

Ghizlane Aroussi

Hi there !
For the past five years, I've been on a rewarding journey as an engineering manager—leading teams, learning continuously, and striving to make work just a little more human (and fun!).
Before stepping into management, I rolled up my sleeves as a 3D developer then a full stack engineer, building web and mobile experiences and solving bugs :)

Today, I have the joy (and sometimes the challenge!) of managing both a vibrant team of software engineers and a dynamic group of RPA engineers. My mission? To design reliable and scalable systems and to foster a culture where experimentation is encouraged and where everyone feels they’re in the right place.

People, communication patterns, and the ever-evolving world of work fascinate me. I’m especially intrigued by how AI will reshape our jobs.

At PayFit, I’m currently navigating our transition to Domain-Driven Design while experimenting with team topologies, the 360 impact on the organization business, people and tech wise is fascinating.

I believe in tackling technical debt gracefully and my goal is to do so while delivering business value and empowering teams to take ownership and make decisions.

More than happy to share my learnings and acquire new ideas on the way!
