PowerApps911’s Nicola Young: How Shared Experiences and Career Reflection Boost the Women in Tech Community
In this discussion, I’m joined by Nicola Young, President, PowerApps911, who is a panelist on this year’s Women in Tech panel as part of Community Summit NA 2026. Young details why leadership reflection is valuable and what she hopes attendees take away from the on-stage discussion.
Key Takeaways
- Overview: Young is the President of PowerApps911, which was recently acquired by TMC Global. Part of her role focuses on combining and integrating capabilities for both TMC Global and PowerApps911 clients.
- Leadership reflection: It’s valuable for leaders to reflect on their own experiences or challenges along the way, as it can help others avoid similar mistakes, says Young. It can also provide reassurance that the challenges they face are common and can be overcome.
- Audience value: Young hopes that members of the audience are able to leave with “nuggets that they’re going to either be able to utilize right away in their career,” and that in the next few years, they feel inspired to be up on the stage sharing their career journeys.
- Program details: The Women in Tech program, part of Community Summit NA 2026, will take place from 1-4 PM on Monday, October 12. The panel runs from 1:45-2:20.
