Three Lessons from a Woman in Enterprise Architecture
Technical leadership can narrow who gets heard and who advances. But, this is not just a talk about enterprise architecture—it is a conversation about courage, purpose, leadership, and creating space for more people to thrive in technology. That is the entry point for "Three Lessons from a Woman in Enterprise Architecture", where Sarah Wimberley shows three lessons for building curiosity, authenticity, and courage in architecture in practice.
Session details
Women remain significantly underrepresented in enterprise architecture and technical leadership roles, yet organizations increasingly need leaders who can bridge people, process, technology, and strategy—especially in the age of AI transformation. But, this is not just a talk about enterprise architecture—it is a conversation about courage, purpose, leadership, and creating space for more people to thrive in technology. In this candid and engaging session, I'll share my unconventional journey from art school and creative work into enterprise architecture leadership. Attendees will explore three powerful lessons that apply far beyond IT: be curious, be authentic, and be flawed. This session challenges traditional assumptions about who belongs in architecture and leadership roles while highlighting why organizations benefit from hiring individuals with diverse backgrounds, nonlinear career paths, and varied lived experiences. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for building confidence, navigating change, fostering trust, supporting psychological safety, and transforming perceived weaknesses into professional strengths.
