    SheLeads Cyber Expands — Women Leading the Future of Technology & Cyber Leadership 🚀

    Around the world, the number of women shaping the future of technology, cybersecurity, and digital policy is still far below its true potential. At DEFCON Group Karachi, we believe the future must be inclusive, bold, and leadership-driven.

    That is why we launched SheLeads Cyber — Women Wing of DEFCON Group Karachi , a powerful platform dedicated to elevating women leaders in technology, cybersecurity, AI, policy, and digital innovation.

    Today, The Vertex grows even stronger.

    🔥 DEFCON Group Karachi proudly welcomes Dr. Sonia Saleem as Senior Executive Member – Women Wing (SheLeads Cyber).

    Dr. Sonia Saleem is a dynamic technology leader, entrepreneur, and policy advocate serving as Founder & CEO of Socio Engineering Technologies. She also contributes to Pakistan’s digital ecosystem as a Central Executive Committee Member of P@SHA and as Focal Person for the Prime Minister’s Youth Program (EdTech, Skills & Employability).

    Her leadership journey reflects a deep commitment to technology-driven empowerment, youth development, and digital capacity building. As Former Senior Vice President of IWCCI, she has played a key role in advancing women’s leadership and entrepreneurship within Pakistan’s technology and business sectors.

    Dr. Sonia represents the spirit of innovation with purpose — where technology is used to create opportunity, strengthen institutions, and empower the next generation of digital leaders.

    💠 With her induction, The Wing continues its mission to build a powerful ecosystem where women innovators, cybersecurity professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers collaborate to shape Pakistan’s digital future.
    • This is not just representation.
    • This is leadership in action.
    • This is technology empowering society.

    ⚡ The Vertex is growing.
    ⚡ Women leadership in cyber and technology is rising.
    ⚡ DEFCON Karachi continues to build a platform where ideas, talent, and impact converge.
