Continuing on from last week’s theme, I’ve invited four key members from the Girl Geek Dinners Norway network onto the show to chat about the impact they’ve made within their field! Joining me today is Norway Co-Founder Nina Alida Nordbø, Trondheim Founder and Leader Kristina Brend, Oslo Leader Ingvil Gaasland, and Oslo Board Member Vivi Hatlem.
