Program Manager
Irene Evgeniadis is a program manager for Telstra’s IT organisation, managing the delivery of IT network element system changes that support mobile, internet and telephone services.

After 15 great years in IT roles that have kept her challenged and satisfied, Irene decided it was time to give something back and joined Vic ICT for Women, an industry-driven initiative which aims to facilitate entry, retention and progression for women working in ICT.
In 2006 Irene was invited to become a board member of Vic ICT for Women, a position she still currently holds.
Irene recently received the Queen Victoria Shilling Wall Tribute for her contribution to women in IT.

Irene is passionate about IT and encouraging women to never just accept the status quo, but to excel in what has traditionally been a male dominated environment.

Many of us look to family, friends and colleagues for advice on our careers or personal developments. How many of those people do you consider to be ‘mentors’, who can provide you with guidance and support as you try to achieve your goals?

There is nothing more inspirational than hearing from leaders who have been there and done that. At a recent event for Females in IT and Telecommunications (FITT) hosted by Telstra, we were privileged to hear from two people who have made an inspirational career in the ICT industry – Julie Fahey, KPMG Partner and Patrick Eltridge CIO at Telstra.

Come on girls, go for IT

I guess you could say I started my career in IT out of curiosity. I had always wanted to be a criminologist, and after completing a Bachelor of Arts majoring in legal studies followed by some post graduate studies in criminology, I thought I was all set. But it was the early 90’s and there weren’t many jobs out there in this specialised field. Well none actually.
