Safia is a French citizen that carries her Algerian roots & culture with a lot of pride. She was born there and grew up in a patriarchal environment where it was difficult for a girl to pursue her dreams. Very early on, she had to stand up for what she believed was the right thing to do. She was attracted to Tech as she was fascinated by the way it could impact the future of society.  

As a proud mom of 3, she managed to grow in her career journey within the healthcare industry taking on different leadership roles in IT Governance and Digital Health innovation. She currently works as Senior Technical Program Manager at Roche, where she leads the Digital Pathology program.
