Christina Brugger helps women in STEM build influence, rise into leadership, and stop waiting to be recognised for the value they already bring.
As founder of Keys To Impact, she has trained over 300 women working at companies including Arup, AWS, and GoCardless, and delivers programmes across engineering and tech organisations.
Christina knows this world firsthand. A chartered engineer and product leader, she spent a decade in senior roles across manufacturing, engineering, and tech — including Venture Development Director at a scaleup and Head of Digital & Insights at a FTSE100. She still works as a product and market insights consultant, keeping her in the realities women in STEM face every day.
Her book, The 5 Keys To Your Potential: An actionable guide for women in STEM, draws on psychology and leadership science — including Harvard Business School’s programme on power and influence — to explain why women hit invisible walls, and what actually works to break through them. She wrote it because no one was teaching what she knows actually matters: how power dynamics work, what builds real confidence, and the hidden rules of getting ahead in your career.
Christina was named in the UK’s Top 50 Women in Engineering 2025 and is a TechWomen100 Winner 2025.
