Magdalena Pawłowska-Talarek

I’m a flesh and blood Warsaw girl. I’m leading couple of roles in my life – wife of home automation lover guy, mother of 14-year old daughter full of energy and horse passion and - Women in Tech. Merging all these roles helped me to raise my project management skills to a very high level. I have spent past 18 years working within banking sector as a Project/Program Manager and Product Owner, mainly within Information Security space. I have financial background, as I get bachelor’s degree within finance and banking. My main area of interest lays within process improvements and quality assurance. I’ve spent tons of hours talking with engineers, developers, analysts, SMEs and senior managers to figure out how to build security processes in such a way, to minimize audit findings, please risk and control team. I took part in all of the stages of that processes. Starting from analysis, architecture, PM, tracking, testing, implementation and ending as an advocate discussing with audit authorities. My courage, stubborn striving for goals, not giving up and strong communication skills, brought me to where I'm today – I’m a Women in Tech – and I’m proud of it.
