Dame Stephanie Shirley: Child refugee’s rise to tech icon and philanthropist

Aged five, Shirley and her nine-year-old sister were sent out of Germany on the Kindertransport to escape the Holocaust. Less than two decades later, she launched a business at a time when women weren't allowed to work in the London Stock Exchange, drive a bus or fly a plane. They also needed their husband’s written permission to open a bank account. The concept for her company, Freelance Programmers, was born out of frustrations with sexism and inequality in the workplace. “Several of my colleagues, when told of my plan, laughed openly,” she says in her autobiography Let It Go: My Extraordinary Story – From Refugee to Entrepreneur to Philanthropist. Profits from the sale of her autobiography go towards Autistica. As a read, it’s a wonderful look into the mind of an entrepreneur, at times brutally self-reflective and honest but touching wonderfully on the trials and tribulations of scaling a business.
