In this episode, we meet Darya Motornova, founder and CEO of ITealist, a tech company creating innovative software and technologies for a wide range of industries and clients—including acclaimed Belarusian artist and designer Vladimir Yakovlevich Tsesler, whose work has been exhibited at the Louvre in Paris.

Driven by a vision of technology rooted in empathy and wellbeing, Darya is shaping a more human-centred future in tech, creating immersive applications that transform the way we experience digital environments.

Beyond her professional achievements and laser-focused goals, she is warm, grounded, and generous—a woman who truly knows who she is and uplifts those around her. I’ve witnessed this through our entrepreneurial women’s group, where she freely shares her time, expertise, and contacts, and in the way she welcomed Miro and me into her home while supporting AJOSEPO with such genuine care.

In this Spotlight, she reflects on her career journey, the challenges of leadership, and the values that guide her in a competitive industry. She also takes on a rapid-fire Q&A, a one-word challenge, and a “What’s In My Bag” segment—revealing the personality behind her professional success.

Episode Highlights include:
- The inspiration behind ITealist 
- How she brings empathy into the fast-paced world of tech
- The leadership lessons she learned the hard way
- Advice for women breaking into the tech industry
- A candid Vogue-inspired Q&A, and “What’s In My Bag”
