Learn about our mission and meet our team
Fearless into Tech is a non-profit initiative from women for women.
What brings us together is our strong will to hack into the digital sector, regardless of lacking a technical career background or related education.
Our community offers women a safe space to acquire new digital skills at their own pace, while at the same time building own networks, supporting each other and keeping track of individual and common goals.
Our mission is to make the Tech Sector more accessible for women and minorities from outside the sector, seeking for a career change from non-tech to tech.
Due to the latent gender gap in the sector, we mainly focus on offering women a safe and solidarious space to acquire new digital skills at their own pace, while having access to free learning resources, peer-support and guidance by professional mentors.
While we believe in skill transferability and human potential, we also believe that closing the gender gap in the Tech Sector requires a common effort. Acknowledging our stereotypes and biases towards the sector can help shifting our perception of tech related professions.
At Fearless into Tech we want to inspire our community members by showcasing stories of diverse role models and their very diverse career paths into Tech, and tech companies by showcasing that talent and skill development is neither static nor dependent on certificates / titles, but rather driven by the unlimited human drive to learn, explore and create.
A nomad and a lifelong learner. Eli strongly believes that everyone is able to learn everything and unleash their full potential, when given equal opportunities.
She founded FIT to motivate people who - like herself -have hardly had previous exposure or access to tech, but are open and willing to fearlessly dive into it, and explore how far they can get with the support of a community. Since moving to Denmark in 2017, Eli has transitioned from a career in International Development Cooperation to a position as a Technical Pre-Sales Engineer in an upcoming Danish Startup.
A Political Scientist, Claudia has previously worked within research. After relocating to Copenhagen, she made a career change into the private sector and she currently works full time as an Intellectual Property specialist.
Gender diversity and women’s empowerment have always been issues she has been passionate about. While doing her masters, coding and data analytics piqued her curiosity but she was always too scared to try it out. When Eli came up with the idea behind the Fearless into Tech community, it was a perfect fit.
For the last 15 years Oxana has been working in the UN system, and such topics as diversity,gender equality and capacity building of women were a big part of her professional life.
In 2015 Oxana moved from Moscow to Copenhagen as a Master student in CBS, studying Supply Chain Management. After visiting the very first Fearless into Tech seminar in autumn 2019, she got interested in this initiative, so she joined F.I.T. first as a member of a Python learning circle and later as a Board member and one of the moderators.
Educated hospitality professional, Oana has been passionate about making things better in the hotel industry. Curious about everything related to space and tech, she decided to challenge herself into coding, thus joining the FIT to help others find their own motivation into learning to code.

While working as Software Engineer, Cristiana has seen a lack of representation of women in the IT workforce. So she hopes to inspire and spark interest towards programming, bring more women to to the industry and create a more diverse workforce.
