New Podcast Episode: Christine Cederberg on Leadership, Vulnerability & Purpose-Driven Technology

Christine begins by challenging the traditional narrative around innovation. “Technology for technology’s sake is completely uninteresting,” she says. For her, technology only matters when it improves society and solves real human problems — a perspective that has shaped her approach to engineering, consulting, and leading teams.

She also speaks openly about the importance of EQ over IQ, sharing how emotional intelligence has become her most essential leadership tool. Empathy, compassion, and the ability to truly see the individuals in her team are the qualities she believes drive meaningful impact.

The episode takes a deeply personal turn when Christine describes the experience of holding multiple roles simultaneously — mother, partner, friend, leader — and the familiar fear that she might be failing at all of them at once. It’s a moment of authenticity that resonates with so many women navigating ambitious careers while trying to honour every part of their lives.

Hosted by Stephanie Darvill, with production by Elin Eriksson, this episode reminds us why role models like Christine matter. Women who lead with heart, who share their experiences honestly, and who challenge the industry to build tech with purpose are an essential part of shaping a more inclusive future.
