WoW3 Nominee Spotlight: @MelissaSlaymak1 The connector, mentor, and powerhouse shifting the future for women in tech. As Global Partnership Director & Africa Regional Director at @WomenInTechOrg, Melissa sits at the centre of a global movement empowering 5M women and girls in STEAM by 2030. With 60+ chapters and 250K members, she’s driving digital inclusion, unlocking partnerships, and opening real doors across Africa and the world. WIT® Global is also part of the WEF’s Edison Alliance, meaning their impact is measured, intentional, and felt. With 20+ years in IT and executive recruitment, Melissa has mastered the art of connecting people to opportunity. She speaks boldly on digital inclusion, Africa’s skills gap, representation, and co-created the “This Is Me” programme helping young people enter the working world with confidence. Through NFTy-art she fuses art, AI, Web3, and blockchain to make emerging tech accessible. And as an #IamRemarkable facilitator, she helps people own their wins and amplify their voice. Melissa leads with heart. She knows community changes everything, and that when women rise, the whole ecosystem levels up. Her work hits home for us at Linum Labs. We’re building a future where innovation is inclusive, access is real, and the next generation gets to build without barriers. #WoW3 #WomenOfWeb3 #linumlabs #WomenInTech #DigitalInclusion #STEAMLeaders #TechForGood #AfricaTech #WomenWhoLead #FutureOfWork #CommunityBuilders #InclusionMatters #EmpowerHer #BlockchainBuilders
