Our founder, Louise, spends a lot of time networking. Recently she met Ruth Wood at a local Hertfordshire Chamber lunch.

Ruth runs Reasonate Leadship; a leadership coaching organisation for organisations, business owners and individuals and hosts the Frustrated & Exhausted podcast.

Louise was delighted that Ruth invited her to be a guest on her podcast.

Louise spoke about her expertise in mathematics and software development which helped her innovate in climate technology with Kanoppi.

She explained how she started as a curious child inspired by Marie Curie and a love of science and graduated with a Maths degree, before starting a career as a software developer.

More recently, Louise runs a digital WordPress agency Indigo Tree, and won a Women in Innovation Award, before founding Kanoppi

You have to have a real resilience. That final 10% to get something over the line. You just need pigheadedness and determination, quite frankly.

During the podcast, Louise shared her thoughts on being a woman in STEM and a male-dominated tech industry.

Louise and Ruth are delighted with the feedback on this episode of Frustrated & Exhausted.

Just wanted to thank you for the fab podcast I’ve just enjoyed listening to on my ‘run-which-turned-walk’  It was great to hear your story and learn a bit more about your career path.

I particularly loved your comments around “choosing whose opinion you care about” – this is something I definitely need to do more of.

And I was inspired by your parting words “just put your head down, grit your teeth and get on with it” – something which I need to do this very morning with a very difficult piece of work I have to undertake.
