Today we speak with developer turned health-tech founder Gulé Sheikh. We discuss her innovations and entrepreneurship at a leading tele-health company, her experience in technology, and the importance of representation. In the early 20th century, women led computer programming and made huge contributions to the field. From Ada Lovelace’s algorithm and Grace Hopper’s pioneering work on COBOL to World War II codebreaking at Bletchley Park and Katherine Johnson’s calculations critical to NASA spaceflights. Yet, when Gulé started her career 23 years ago, she was one of only 5 women in a class of 300 Computer Programming graduates. Gulé went on to found a successful health-tech company which she scaled 1000% and sold in 2019 after 7 years of running it.
