What does it really take to build a tech company without quitting your job, burning out, or losing yourself along the way?
In this episode of Sensorship, I sit down with Ksenia Votinova-Arnaud (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kseniavotinova/), serial tech entrepreneur, business coach, and founder, to talk about resilience, women in tech, entrepreneurship, impostor syndrome, and designing a life on your own terms.
Born in the Soviet Union and raised in a family shaped by survival and grit, Ksenia shares how that early environment forged her ambition and adaptability. From landing a CFO role just months into her first job, to struggling as a young CEO and rebuilding herself as a leader, she opens up about the uncomfortable, and transformative, moments behind her success.
We explore:
How to start a tech business while keeping your corporate job
Overcoming impostor syndrome (and naming it!)
Leadership mistakes and cultural humility
Building resilience through an “agile” mindset
Creating a weatherproof business anchored in purpose
Community, compound confidence, and women supporting women
Time freedom as the new definition of success
Designing a meaningful career without burnout
This is a powerful conversation about finding your purpose, redefining success, building a tech startup with intention, and creating impact without sacrificing your life.
If you're a woman in tech, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone navigating ambition and identity, this episode is for you.
