Marija Velžė

Engineering Manager

TransferGo

I have a master’s degree in Software Engineering and 10+ years of experience in Product and People Management. The world of IT caught my eye when I was still in middle school and this career path seemed as an obvious choice, however during my studies I have realised that I don’t want to be a software developer. This made me question my decision until I’ve learned that IT is not just development. Even though I have found my place – the journey wasn’t easy. My goal as a mentor is to help others like me to find their way in the world of Technologies with less stress and self-doubt.

Scrum Product Owner

BCA Marketplace

I am a Certified Scrum Product Owner, with several years of hands-on product ownership roles within agile development teams, in both Scrum and Kanban settings. Prior to becoming a Product Owner, I had 12+ experience in SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), with a core focus on web B2C and B2B products that heavily relied on search engine traffic. I’ve picked the skills through working experience, and have served as a Head of SEO for the UK’s leading online business directory at the time. My work experience is solely UK-based, so I am happy to share the ins and outs of a Product Owner working in a Tech department in the UK.

What is Mentoring?

There are many talented people left without professional support, which often results in loss of motivation. Mentors make sure that doesn’t happen!

Mentoring is best described as an educational process when mentors share knowledge with the purpose of surfacing potential in their protégés.

Mentors are not school teachers. They’re voluntary professionals that are motivated to pass on knowledge and contribute to Women Go Tech’s talent pool.
