Meet
Paulette Watson (MBE)
I’m an author, educator, entrepreneur and the founder of Academy Achievers.
I’m passionate about closing the digital divide gap and keen on increasing diversity in health, education, electronics and life sciences.
I recognize the importance of equity and allyship, acknowledging that we do not all start from the same place. I am leading the groundbreaking Global #BeMedigitalinclusion program, addressing the gender and digital skills gap for black women in Tech.
I come from a background of social mobility, and I understand the barriers faced by those striving to break free from socio-economic constraints. As an inclusive global leader, I use my expertise to uplift and empower individuals.
