Linda Kamau is a natural problem solver also known as the “chief fixer” who swapped writing code for rewriting the rules. As the Executive Director of AkiraChix, she has dedicated the last 15 years to helping young women from underserved communities across Sub-Saharan Africa launch powerful careers in technology. Passionate about creating inclusive spaces where women can thrive, lead, and disrupt traditional norms, she’s driven to open doors in areas where women have long been underrepresented. Her bold leadership and fearless approach to innovation have transformed AkiraChix from a simple idea into an impactful organization, making a tangible difference in the lives of countless women.
When she’s not solving problems or betting big on the future, you’ll likely find her experimenting in the kitchen or cheering on her favorite F1 driver because fast cars and fast thinking are kind of her thing.
