"Just say yes" with Gail Henderson

Welcome back to Scale Her Up!

Today we have Gail Henderson on the podcast, she's the owner of DEV4 and Equi-Track, a bespoke software development company and cloud-based equipment management software meant to help businesses digitize their services and enhance their productivity and processes. After starting her professional life as a software engineer, Gail fulfilled her dream of owning her own business in 2017 when she joined DEV4. Although a trained engineer she took on a more business development focused role, learning to balance her own work alongside it. DEV4 works in a number of different industries- from Oil and Gas, to Energy, and more, and has grown to help and advise businesses all over Scotland. In today's episode, Gail discusses the challenges and growing pains she experienced running her own business, the importance of going outside your comfort zone, how she's learned to network, and finally her experience being a Woman in Stem and tech, and ways she thinks we could give other women and young girls the same opportunity. This episode was an absolute joy to film and a reminder to challenge yourself, even if it intimidates you. A big thank you to Gail for joining us!
