Amber Shand MBCS — Co-Founder

Hi, I'm Amber 👋 Former software engineer turned keynote speaker and founder of She Bytes Back, the 3,000+ community for ambitious women in tech. I help tech professionals stop hiding behind their work and start speaking their way into the rooms, stages, and opportunities they've been missing. I know because I was that person. Years as a Software Engineer with strong opinions in every meeting but never saying them in the room that mattered. Now I help people close that gap through keynotes and programmes for companies like Google, Salesforce, Sage, and Kraken, and through BRAVE on Stage where women in tech build signature talks and get on real stages. Things I care about: - workplaces that develop their people instead of losing them - speakers who talk about transformations, not just topics - women in tech who are done waiting to feel ready - a really engaging talk with actual personality - bringing iconic women in tech together What I'm building right now: - BRAVE on Stage: a speaking accelerator for women in tech - She Bytes Back: sold-out events and an AI Series with partners like Figma, Canva, and Depop - The Speaker Archetypes framework: helping people stop forcing a speaking style that was never theirs Let's work together -> amber@ambershand.co.uk
