Diane: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! As the CEO of an AI-powered personalization company, I'm navigating a field predominantly led by men. Yet, I'm determined to break stereotypes and pave the way for gender equality. Many still believe certain jobs or industries are solely for specific stereotypes. Still, I'm living proof that women (no matter the age) can excel in coding, leadership, and innovation just as well as anyone. I strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, race, or creed, has equal opportunities. This means dismantling barriers that perpetuate the notion of gender-specific roles. As a female CEO in the tech world, I'm challenging these norms and proving that success knows no gender. Breinify is championing an important cause of gender equality.
Dare: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! We're fixing a big problem worth 300 billion dollars yearly in Africa! Lots of people get sick or even die from fake food and medicine—there are more than 500,000 deaths a year due to fake drugs. Imagine buying medicine that's not real and getting sicker! This happens a lot in Africa and the Middle East. Even in Nigeria, people are finding out about fake products more and more. It's been a problem for a long time, like half a century, but we're here to help. Our job is to make sure that the things you buy are real and safe. We work with big companies that make medicine and packaged food to make sure everything is okay from the start to when you buy it. We're like detectives, but for food and medicine!
Neha: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! My company, Obsess, is helping to make the online shopping experience much more interesting by creating 3D virtual stores. Imagine being able to walk through a store right on your phone, without going there in person. You can learn about the brand and discover products in the same way you do in a store, instead of just the simple list that you see in online shopping. We use Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality technologies to create innovative virtual stores that help reduce carbon emissions.
