She is passionate about advancing the status of entrepreneurs and to that end she volunteers over 200 hours per year to speak on panels and provide workshops.

Eileen Brewer made a hugely insightful presentation on pitching to raise funds for startups. The Silicon Valley Tech investors gave plenty of undoubtedly instructive tips to our masters students on preparing a 10 Minute Pitch Deck to have the odds of investors signing them cheques on their side. Feminist activists as they are, the two ladies also presented Techwomen, a U.S State Department exchange programme for women. Two Tunisian Techwomen alumni told their own experience with pride and honour.
