Two women leading the way in health tech, Elisa Costante from Forescout Technologies and Helen Marsden at Medichecks, tell us how they got to where they are today.
Elisa Costante is the Vice President of Research at Forescout Technologies
I started my career as a software engineer. I then moved to the Netherlands to do my PhD in privacy and security, looking into cybersecurity, privacy, intrusion detection, and machine learning - all the topics that are now becoming "hot".
Towards the end of my PhD I was lucky enough to meet some cool people that had just founded a startup, so I went into the industry and started looking at how to apply my knowledge to issues like protecting critical infrastructures. I carried on as a researcher, working on the edge of the technology and how we can apply innovation to solve our problems.
