About us
Inspired by ada Lovelace, ada's tribe focuses on supporting leadership and career development of women in aDA related careers
Our Purpose
Inspired by Ada Lovelace, Ada’s Tribe focuses on supporting leadership and career development of those identifying as women in Analytics, Data science and AI (ADA) related careers. Our sisterhood-like community enables us to grow authentic connections and share support in our professional careers.
Ada Lovelace is pioneering woman who revolutionised the trajectory of the computer industry. She is considered as “the first programmer”. In 1979, a software language developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was named “Ada” in her honour.
Our Founders
Dr. Catherine Lopes holds a PhD in Data Mining with 20+ years experience in data, analytics, and AI across academia and industry. She is personally passionate about volunteering, mentoring and supporting women in this male-dominated industry with years first-hand experience. In 2020, she realised that a community is needed in order to support more women!
Bienna Chow and Revathi Kanduri, who entered the AI and data science fields in 2020, echoed the desire for an inclusive community to support women along all stages of their ADA career.
Ada’s Tribe was born to bring together ADA women with common values to share, learn and grow. It’s a place to foster authentic connection among those identifying as women to support, guide and empower each other.
