Doctricks Women’s Days – Sandrine

About Sandrine:
 My name is Sandrine, and I’m originally from France, living in Sweden since 2000. My journey into the tech world is somewhat unconventional. I studied mathematics in high school and pursued musicology and musician education in college, specializing in the harpsichord, viola da gamba, and baroque chamber music. Professionally, I transitioned from being a data analyst in the financial sector to the automotive industry, where I spent almost a decade managing customer relations. In 2017, I shifted my focus to the tech industry, became a certified SCRUM Master in 2018, graduated as a Frontend Developer in 2021, and as a UX Designer in 2022. I currently work with Doctricks as a project manager and SCRUM Master. Beyond my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two sons, aged 19 and 21, gardening, and walking our two dogs.

What does equality mean to you, especially in your career?
Equality means recognizing everyone’s potential and ensuring fair opportunities for success, regardless of gender or background. It’s about valuing skills and achievements impartially. This belief has shaped my approach to leadership, focusing on merit and fostering an inclusive environment.

Have you faced any challenges in the tech industry as a woman?
While my journey has been largely positive, it hasn’t been without its challenges. There were moments when I had to work harder to prove my competence, overcome imposter syndrome and earn respect in spaces that felt predominantly male-oriented. However, these challenges taught me resilience and the importance of self-advocacy. Overcoming them has also reinforced my commitment to creating a supportive and bias-free workplace for my team.

How has being a woman influenced your approach as an IT project manager and SCRUM Master?
I believe that my background in music and my diverse experiences as a partner, parent, and team member have most enriched my leadership style, placing a strong emphasis on empathy, collaboration, and effective communication, more than my gender has. Similar to playing chamber music, I aim to harmonize diverse talents and perspectives to achieve our collective goals, fostering a creative and inclusive team dynamic.

About Ella:  I am 26 years old who recently took my master’s degree in interaction technology and design. I have worked at Doctricks as an IT-consultant for the last few months. What does equality mean for you? Equality for me means that everyone is given the same opportunities regardless gender. Being a woman is not a disadvantage it is an advantage. Can you share any personal experiences or observations regarding gender dynamics in the university? During my time at university, I never felt I got mistreated because I was female. I studied a program where the gender ratio was 50/50, which is quite unique for a tech education. However, something I noticed and know is a problem is that most tech educations is dominated by men. I do not personally think that it is on purpose, but I do think that it is an issue that needs to be handled. We need to encourage more women to take an interest in tech and show them that there is place for them as well. For example, in my year there was roughly just about 3 women out of 70 reading the computer engineering program. What do you think can be done to enforce equality among tech educations? I think it is important with presence. Show other women that the tech industry is a place for them as well. During my time as a student, I rarely came by other women working in tech when talking to different tech companies. We need to be better at representing equality within the tech industry and promoting a future where equality is not just the goal but also the reality.

Have you considered how you may cultivate a culture of love in your organisation?

Last week Eva Vilella conducted a workshop at Doctricks aimed at enhancing our interpersonal relationships and encouraging open discussions about our strengths and challenges at work.
This deeper level of engagement not only enriches our interactions with colleagues, clients, and suppliers, but it also positively impacts our personal lives.
We explored our individual strengths and challenges, and practiced giving and receiving feedback effectively. The afternoon ended with everyone smiling and a positive atmosphere. A big thank you to the Doctricks team to be so open and honest with each other, Eva Vilella from Tuff Leadership Training for challenging us!
