Reflecting on International Women’s Day: Celebrating the Women Driving Dixon Humphreys Forward

International Women’s Day on Saturday was a moment to celebrate the incredible women shaping industries, businesses, and innovation - including the brilliant team at Dixon Humphreys.

As we approach our two-year milestone, it’s clear that the women of Dixon Humphreys aren’t just part of the team - they are driving our success.

🌟 Lisa is the force behind our CEO and the entire team, ensuring the engine of Dixon Humphreys runs smoothly. As PA & Events Manager, she’s the mastermind behind our logistics, keeping Rob on track while also making sure the whole team is where they need to be, when they need to be there. She works closely with our clients to ensure their events run seamlessly, all while balancing office management, diary coordination, and overseeing HR & events. A true multitasker, she keeps everything (and everyone) running like clockwork.

🌟 Christie is the bridge between technology and experience, leading the charge as our Product & UX Manager. She ensures our AI solutions are intuitive, impactful, and easy to use, turning complex tech into seamless experiences. Beyond that, she works closely with the tech team to ensure all product development work is deployed on time, keeping our innovations on schedule and delivering value to our clients.

🌟 Shaunte is the voice of Dixon Humphreys, crafting and amplifying our brand as Marketing & Social Media Manager. From storytelling to strategy, she ensures our message cuts through the noise, positioning us as thought leaders in AI transformation. She also takes centre stage in delivering our online courses and hosting AI Café, helping businesses and professionals unlock AI’s potential—with a little help from Christie behind the scenes!

🌟 And this week, we welcome Candice as our Financial Controller! With AI reshaping industries, financial agility is key—and Candice will be at the helm, ensuring our growth is both strategic and sustainable.

Though International Women’s Day has passed, our appreciation for these brilliant women is every day. Their work shapes Dixon Humphreys fuels our innovation, and makes a lasting impact.
