She Codes Too (SCT) hosted a leadership development workshop led by Maha Alaoui, Head of Solution Engineering for the Middle East and Africa at Salesforce. The virtual session explored how cultural identity and global experience shape leadership in the tech sector, especially for women advancing in traditionally male-dominated industries.

Alaoui, who is originally from Morocco and has worked across Europe, China, and the UK, shared her personal journey navigating diverse work environments. With over two decades of experience in the tech industry, she now serves as a senior advisor for digital transformation and inclusive innovation at Salesforce.

The 90-minute workshop, held over Zoom, brought together participants from across Iraq and beyond. The session focused on practical strategies for building inclusive leadership, embracing cultural diversity, and creating professional environments that encourage equity and growth. Attendees also engaged in an interactive Q&A, gaining direct insights into how Maha built her international career while advocating for gender equity in tech.

This event is part of SCT’s broader commitment to offering mentorship, skill development, and leadership opportunities to its growing community of women in technology.
