    The OG IT Girl: Yetunde Ashiru on AI, product leadership & women in tech

    In this episode of Her Coded Story, Motunrayo sits down with Yetunde Ashiru, Global Product Lead for AI and Compliance Transformation at UBS, for a conversation that covers a lot of ground. Yetunde shares how a last-minute decision by her father sent her into computer science instead of physiotherapy, and how that single pivot shaped a 20+ year career spanning Nigeria, the UK, and global financial services. She talks candidly about climbing through rooms where no women looked like her, navigating pub culture as a non-drinker, and learning the hard way that putting your head down and working hard is not the same as being visible. They also gets into AI, and Yetunde does not hold back! She makes the case that AI will not replace product managers who have genuine depth, human judgment, and stakeholder trust. It will, however, expose those who have been coasting on the administrative side of the job. Topics covered: - Starting a tech career from scratch in the UK with £1,000 and a SQL course - Why visibility matters as much as output - Healthy assertiveness and how to hold your ground without raising your voice - AI governance, digital discipline, and the risks most product managers get wrong - Preventing burnout across global time zones - The untapped potential of young African tech talent - Why confidence follows courage, not the other way around Find Yetunde on LinkedIn and Substack under Yeti Ashiru.
