Looking forwards and backwards
Looking back on her decadelong career in technology, Audenaert acknowledged that she was luckier than most women to have such a strong network and supportive family.
“Having the right outside help while my kids were young was instrumental, and my kids are appreciative of my role as an entrepreneur today,” she said. “They know that that’s an important part of my life and they’re completely supportive.”
Moving forward, Audenaert isn’t quite sure what’s next, but she knows that her next role will definitely involve technology. Whether she decides to work at a startup or a more established company, Audenaert has one ideal quality in mind for her next position.
“I always enjoy roles where you’re not just executing a set playbook. You’re figuring things out by trial and error,” she said.
