About our Founder
Our Founder, Bisola over the years has navigated through different career paths. From a Customer Experience consultant in Oracle; a Tech giant, working in Startups in Africa to venturing into a Fashion business and finally back to Tech.
Bisola being pregnant with her second child in 2020, through her transition back to the tech space, witnessed families lose their jobs to the digitization and experienced first-hand the difficulties faced by women trying to transition into a meaningful career in Tech.
Some of the women she encountered along her journey had either lost their careers or lost themselves as a result of motherhood and were finding it difficult to keep up with the fast-paced courses available online to aid their transi- tion.
Bisola’s blogging experience later on that year; where she shared everything she knew about transitioning into tech through a series of blog posts; also revealed how a lot of women wanted to transition into tech but had no idea how. Bisola decided to help the little way she could, by organising free webinars to talk about multiple ways to kick-start a career in Tech. But these women wanted more.
She noticed women who listened to her webinars had similar back-stories, some Teachers, Housewives, Customer Service Reps, Bankers, who wanted higher-paying jobs, or even a career change, families who wished to migrate and excel in the new clime and knew Tech skills were the most in-demand skills currently. But due to the perceived complexity of the word ‘’Tech’’.
In Bisola’s words;
“Most women feel it is impossible to transition without spending years in school or learning how to code. Women who choose to learn, keep struggling to keep up online. Women are not aware Tech skills have many facets and can be as simple and fast to grasp as any other skills”.
This led to the birth of Heels & Tech; A community-based marketplace that helps women transition easily into Tech. Her approach was simple, a cohort-based learning where women can acquire NO CODE technical skills while women are connected with World Class Tech Instructors.
Why No-code? I’m sure you are wondering.
IT operations occur in dynamic environments that demand rapid customization options in the software development process, which low-code development platforms seek to address. In her words, our women are suited for this role and they should be equipped.
The global low-code platform market revenue is valued at almost 22.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2022 and is forecast to reach approximately 32 billion U.S. dollars in 2024 and will keep growing.
