What Does It Take to Break Barriers in Tech—and in Life?

Baroness Martha Lane Fox is a trailblazer in every sense of the word. From founding Lastminute.com during the dot-com boom to becoming one of the youngest women in the House of Lords, her journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

In this rare and revealing interview, Martha shares:

Her insights on the future of AI, quantum computing, and tech’s next big challenges

Why women are still underrepresented in Silicon Valley—and how that might change

Her personal journey to motherhood via surrogacy at nearly 50, and the challenges of living with chronic pain following a devastating car crash 25 years ago

As a former board member of Twitter under Elon Musk and the current Chair of the Chambers of Commerce and WeTransfer, Martha offers unparalleled expertise on all things tech—while never losing sight of the obstacles women face in the industry and beyond.

Join us for this inspiring conversation with one of the most dynamic women in tech as we close season one of The Queenager Podcast.
