Welcome to the Dark Side - From Academia to Industry

Paula A. M. Brochado
VP of Product at Tonic

Abstract
We're often told a PhD leads one way-into academia. But what if industry isn't a fallback, but the next intentional step? In this seminar, I'll share my journey from astronomy to leading product teams in tech, debunking myths, through stories and insights. I'll show you how science backgrounds are shaping the tech industry and offer practical advice on how to navigate your own path to the dark side.
