In this episode, we dive into the fascinating career journey of Jelena Riley, Technical Manager at Viator, a tech leader who has navigated the dynamic world of software engineering, data systems, and public-facing platforms. From studying Numerical and Applied Mathematics in Serbia to knocking on doors for her first opportunity in software engineering, she has worked her way up through roles in retail banking, hedge funds, and tech giants. Now a tech manager at Viator - a Tripadvisor company - she oversees a team of engineers driving innovations in member accounts, post-booking management, and rewards.

We also explore her personal passions: balancing family life in Oxford with yoga, pilates, running, and an addiction to Sci-Fi and Fantasy on Audible. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about resilience, adaptability, and leading with purpose in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
