Meet Shayma Kurz, a true force of nature and one of the most inspirational women today. From her beginnings as a refugee moving from Afghanistan to Ukraine, then Germany, Shayma’s journey is a testament to resilience and vision. She didn’t just break barriers—she redefined them.
Shayma began her path in a world where few women dared to enter: computer engineering. In 2010, she was one of only a handful of women in her engineering program. Despite failing her first semester, she refused to give up. Her persistence paved the way for a thriving career that took her to Mercedes-Benz, where she led global tech projects in AI and data analytics.
Today, Shayma is the founder and CEO of Digital Advice Consulting, a women led business focused on AI adoption and leadership development. Through this company, she’s not only helping companies transition into the AI era but is also mentoring the next generation of women in tech careers.
What makes Shayma one of the most inspirational ladies in the tech world is her unwavering commitment to empowering other women. She believes that women don’t need permission to lead. They need belief in themselves. "Start even if it's imperfect," she advises. "Perfectionism holds us back."
Shayma's story is about finding your own voice, ignoring the noise, and leading with authenticity. Her work uplifts inspirational females and proves that technical careers for females are not just possible—they’re powerful.
Takeaway: For any woman feeling stuck or unsure about starting a side hustle or entering tech, Shayma’s journey is a reminder that your starting point doesn’t define your finish line. Let her story fuel your next move.
