She has successfully led large-scale global projects and managed multidisciplinary design teams at top-tier companies, including Finnair, Volvo Cars, and now Zalando. Renowned for her expertise in facilitation, Marja not only incorporates this skill into her leadership approach but also trains Zalando employees in effective facilitation techniques.

Fabiana Alegrio is a Senior Product Designer with over a decade of experience in both established companies and dynamic scale-ups, including Rovio, Lyyti, and currently, Zalando. With a background in industrial design, she excels at creating digital experiences and physical products that are both highly functional and aesthetically pleasing.

We cannot stress enough how important it is to show examples of all possible interests, career paths, and occupations to the youth early on. This way, the options will remain broad and we will get more women in tech!
