In this episode of our Women in Tech podcast, Giles Daniels is joined by Patricia Cabrera Perez, EMEA Head of Distribution at Gigamon, a global security company specialising in network-derived intelligence and insights for cloud security, observability, and network management. Originally from Mexico City, Patricia has spent the last 13 years in the UK, building a successful career in channel distribution, with experience at companies like SAP, VMware, Ericsson, and now Gigamon.

Patricia shares her unconventional journey into tech, beginning with a degree in international business and an unexpected role in IT distribution in Mexico. Her career took her from Latin America to Europe, where she navigated the cultural nuances of working across regions. Patricia is committed to empowering the next generation of leaders, particularly women in tech, through the importance of mentorship, adaptability, and resilience.

Finally, Patricia reflects on the advice she would give to her younger self and how embracing challenges can lead to career-defining opportunities.
