Podcast - Limor Bergman Gross

Welcome to ‘From a Woman to a Leader,’ a podcast dedicated to discussing women’s unique challenges in tech leadership and providing actionable tips to help overcome those challenges and grow your career in the tech industry.
In each episode, I will speak with successful women in tech who have navigated the industry and come out on top, sharing their stories, insights, and advice for other women looking to do the same.
Whether you’re just starting out in your tech career or a seasoned professional looking to take the next step, this podcast is for you.

Feeling overwhelmed by AI and not sure where to even begin? You’re not alone—and this episode will change the way you see it.

In today’s conversation, I sit down with Nicole Hilgenkamp, an AI and digital transformation leader with over 20 years of experience in reshaping how businesses work. But what makes this episode so powerful isn’t just the tech talk—it’s how Nicole breaks down the human side of AI and how you, especially as a woman in tech, can use it to work smarter, reduce stress, and become a more effective leader.

Nicole believes AI shouldn’t be something you fear—it should be your secret weapon.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ What it really means to be AI-literate—and why it’s crucial for your career

✅ How to start using AI today, even if you’re not “technical”

✅ Why women leaders must get ahead of the AI curve—and how to do it

✅ The biggest myths about AI and job loss (and what’s actually true)

✅ Real-life ways AI can support your work, parenting, and personal life

Nicole also shares her personal journey navigating corporate transformation and how AI helped her redefine her leadership—and herself.

🎧 If you’ve ever thought AI was too complicated or “not for you,” this episode will shift your mindset—and give you practical ways to start leveraging it today.
