Katerina is the owner of IQ in IT LTD, who are award-winning IT specialists, and also a proud owner of a cute rescue dog
Just over 10 years ago I ventured into running an IT company based in Kingston upon Thames. Being a female in a male dominated industry has many challenges. I always strive to do things better and provide my clients and my employees a best possible experience. Going the extra mile in supporting my clients as well as being a flexible and supportive employer is important for me in building long term relationships.
2020 brings many challenges for businesses and also for our personal lives with the current pandemic threat adding to the constant barrage from cyber threats. Being able to react quickly and give the right advice is imperative. We are currently enabling our clients to extend home based working, which in the short term assists with the possible need for employees to self isolate but can then develop to allow more flexible working in the future to provide a better work life balance. Our systems are designed to prompt clients when there are potential threats to their online security as well as physical danger to their business operations.
My passion for the future is to encourage young women to take up IT as a career. I enjoy being involved with the local community through charity, education and business events.
Engaging with young talent through the apprenticeship scheme or Young Enterprise allows us to share knowledge as well as help younger generations decide on future careers. We encourage a hands-on approach to learning, which may sometimes result in entertaining stories, such as blowing out our entire building’s power by flipping the red switch.
If you are interested in joining us as a client or an employee, I would love to hear from you.
