Code Like a Girl: Dinah Davis on Redefining Retirement, Math, Mentorship and Women in STEM

Voices of Leadership: Redefining Success and Driving Change

Dinah Davis is no stranger to firsts. She’s built her career—and her life—on a series of them. As a mathematician and cryptographer, she stood out as one of the few women in a field dominated by men.
She was the first to code Bluetooth technology. She holds a variety of patents, which means she was the first to create something and she’s even experienced her first retirement.

Highlights from this episode:

• Dinah discusses her early experiences in a male-heavy tech environment
• Dinah reflects on the fleeting years we have with our teenagers before they head off into the world. She’ll take the garbage time—the car rides, the mundane errands—because those moments often hold the most meaning.
• Insights into the patent process
• Reflections on burnout and the concept of “first retirement”
• Code Like a Girl’s evolution and its impact on women in STEM
• The role of AI in cybersecurity and its ethical implications
• Emphasizing the importance of mentorship and women supporting each other
