Speaking of her thoughts about participating in an event like She Loves Tech, Saba said, “As with my participation in any event, my intention is to learn new things, expand my network, and get inspired. She loves tech provided all that for me. And regardless of winning or losing, just being up on that stage in front of that amazing crowd and talking about the work that we are doing is a great opportunity.”
She added, ‘I made some great connections and potential partnerships too. I’m glad I flew down to Dubai to attend and got to see amazing women leading the way and doing amazing things in tech and beyond.”
