Book IWD Speaker: Celestina Amadi

Celestina Amadi is a women-in-tech advocate, mentor and community leader committed to expanding access, confidence and opportunity for women and girls, particularly in technology and emerging careers. Her work focuses on breaking systemic barriers, demystifying technical spaces and creating clear, achievable pathways for women to participate and lead.

Through mentorship, teaching and community-led initiatives, Celestina supports women and girls transitioning into technology from non-traditional backgrounds. She is especially passionate about helping young women build self-belief, practical skills and long-term career vision in environments where they are often underrepresented or overlooked.

Celestina’s advocacy is shaped by lived experience. Having transitioned into tech herself, she understands the challenges women face, from imposter syndrome and limited access to guidance, to the absence of visible role models. She uses this perspective to design learning experiences, conversations and support systems that are inclusive, practical and empowering.

As a speaker, Celestina addresses topics such as empowering girls to pursue technology early, supporting women through career transitions, building confidence in male-dominated industries and the role of mentorship and community in accelerating gender equity. Her sessions inspire action, encourage intentional support for women and girls, and equip audiences with ideas they can immediately apply within their communities, organizations and families.
