Dame Stephanie Shirley on women in business, entrepreneurship and why she changed her name to Steve

  • Resumen

  • Dame Stephanie Shirley has a fascinating – and difficult – story to tell. Aged just five, she was one of nearly 10,000 children who were sent to England on board the Kindertransport to escape the dangers posed by Nazi Germany.


    It was a life defining moment that would equip Dame Stephanie with a resilience that would see her set up a successful software business, at a time when attitudes to women in the workplace were very different.


    Ultimately, that business made millionaires of more than 70 co-owners and has enabled Dame Stephanie to set up several charities and not-for-profits in the autism and IT spheres.


    She talks to Management Today about employee ownership, her tips for entrepreneurs and how to become an effective public speaker.
