Farah Brown & Sam Bramwell

Two women. Two different paths. The same fire in our hearts.

From different corners of the tech world, we came together with one shared mission: to challenge the systems holding women back and to reimagine leadership through the lens of equity, empathy, and real change.

Farah Brown is an accomplished executive, business leader, and advocate for gender equality, with a strong record of driving transformative change in the tech industry. She has led initiatives to foster inclusion, reform work–life balance, and create more equitable workplaces. A mother of two, Farah is a recognised voice in women’s networks, known for her leadership, mentorship, and work empowering women to thrive both professionally and personally.

Sam Bramwell is an award-winning business leader, executive coach, and public speaker with over 25 years of experience in senior leadership roles within the tech industry. She is a dedicated advocate for gender equity and played a key role in rebuilding the Women at Microsoft Community in the UK. Sam has led male allyship programmes, menopause awareness initiatives, and conversations on workplace gender-based violence. She is the founder of The ADHD Leader and Knowing Sisters.

Together, we co-founded Femnesty, a platform for real conversations about emotional labour, gender dynamics, and systemic change. We work with organisations to build cultures where women thrive and where men are supported to be active allies.
