Boss Lady | Meet Bola Adeniyi. MSc Founder of WEBINDY and Director of IT Application Security Engineer

Bola Adeniyi. MSc is a respected figure in the cybersecurity industry, known for her role as the Director of IT Application Security Engineer and her leadership in improving software engineering processes and products. As the founder of Women Empowerment Brunch Indy (WEBINDY), she has been instrumental in inspiring anempowering women to break into the technology and cybersecurity fields.

Recognized for her dedication to the cybersecurity industry, Bola has received an Award of Excellence at the FutureCon Cybersecurity Event. She also serves as an Executive Board member for Eleven Fifty Academy, providing career service support to help students transition smoothly into the workforce.

Despite her accomplishments, Bola faced significant challenges, including the early loss of her mother, forcing BOLA to assume a maternal role for her siblings while her father provided for the family. She prioritized understanding her identity, values, and life's purpose, recognizing the importance of self-awareness in decision-making. Moving from Nigeria to America 12 years ago marked a major turning point, exposing her to a new culture and igniting a sense of adventure and fresh perspective. She embraced the challenges of adjusting to a new country, including experiencing her first snowfall, with optimism and openness.

Transitioning from a statistics background to cybersecurity was another significant challenge she faced. As a woman of color entering the tech field in her mid-30s, she confronted common fears such as starting over in her career, acquiring new skills, and battling self-doubt and age discrimination. Despite these challenges, she realized that it's never too late to pursue her dreams and embarked on a fulfilling career in tech.

Driven by a desire to empower women and challenge the narrative of female underrepresentation, she founded WEBINDY. This platform aims to inspire and motivate women to pursue their aspirations with confidence and determination. Through career development, networking, and mutual support, WEBINDY celebrates and empowers women to achieve their goals.

Bola's mission is to inspire, educate, mentor, connect, and grow. She believes in empowering others to reach their full potential and make a positive impact in the cybersecurity industry. With her expertise, passion, and dedication, Bola Adeniyi continues to pave the way for a more secure and inclusive technological landscape.
