Succeed in the Digital Age as a Business Leader!
I help ambitious business leaders thrive in a world changed by digital technology.
If you want to lead digital transformation, run a tech venture as a non-technical founder or be a smart money investor, you're in the right place.
Tech for Non-Techies is for you if you want to:
- Lead with confidence in an organization going through digital change
- Collaborate successfully with data scientists, developers and product teams
- Be recognized as a Digital Leader in your field
To lead in a world changed by tech
You do not have to become a developer. If you are thinking of signing up for a python course, it is probably not the smartest use of your time.
But you do need a new skillset. A leader's job is not to learn to code, but to successfully manage the technology production process and make sure it aligns with business goals.
To do this, business leaders need to understand technology workflows, learn how to ask the right questions and collaborate with designers and developers.
This is what you will learn at Tech for Non-Techies.
As a business leader, you don't know what you don't know about tech
- Ever wondered if you need to learn to code to have a successful career, and then felt guilty because scratching your eyes out sounds more fun?
- Or read an article about the digital revolution and secretly wondered what all the tech jargon meant?
- Or been secretly terrified that your lack knowledge about AI / Chat GPT or another hot tech trend is going to be discovered and hold you back?
This is all very common among smart ambitious leaders. You have the work ethic and curiosity to learn, but you don't know where to start.
At Tech for Non-Techies, you well learn what you really need to know to be an effective leader, so you can save your time and money.

I consider myself lucky that I have discovered "Tech for Non-Techies" created by Sophia Matveeva (recommended by my friend).
She helped me to see some of the mistakes that could have been avoided on my personal journey to creating a tech product.

Aiysha Johnson
Executive Director
As an alumna of the University of Chicago, I studied courses in policy, social impact, and business. However, I never knew what it meant to build a tech-enabled product.
I turned to a fellow alum, and joined Sophia's Tech for Non-Techies and never looked back. Now, I can have impactful conversations with tech experts.
