Biography

Recognised for her impact, Yemurai is a proud recipient of the TechWomen100 Award, and has collaborated with organisations such as the Civil Service, interviewed the VP of Environmental Policy and Social Initiatives at Apple, hosted the Cloud and Cyber Expo in London, and spoken at the Google Developers Group X UCL ‘Redefine Possible’ International Women’s Day event—proof that unconventional paths can lead to extraordinary success.

Despite her achievements, Yemurai has grappled with imposter syndrome—particularly during career transitions and as she progressed into senior roles. Faced with questions like “Do I really belong here?” and “Am I a fraud?”, she chose to confront these thoughts head-on. This journey led to the creation of her ACT Framework, designed to tame the “imposter monster” and help individuals face FEAR with confidence.

Her keynote is known for its raw honesty, addressing the often-overlooked reality that AI is intensifying feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt across industries.

"Yemurai spoke as part of a panel at the annual UCAS Teachers and Advisers Conference in February 2025 in front of an audience of over 150 guests. The panel were discussing the future of skills in the UK, and how teachers can best advise their students in the classroom. I was responsible for organising and chairing the panel on the day, and Yemurai was an excellent person to work with throughout the process. As well as being professional and diligent during the planning of the panel, Yemurai was a stand out speaker on the day, and spoke with knowledge, authority and passion about engaging young people in great careers education. Yemurai was articulate and engaging, and dealt with questions from the guests and me with great confidence, and the feedback from the audience was overwhelmingly positive, saying that they learned practical and inspiring ways to guide their students. I recommend Yemurai as a speaker at events, panel sessions, webinars and other speaking engagements, based on her knowledge of STEM careers, engaging and guiding young people, and her ability to speak so articulately and clearly in front of an audience. Yemurai is an absolute superstar, and we'll be asking her back to join us for future speaking opportunities. Thanks Yemurai!" Pete Milsom, Partnerships Manager Partnerships Manager UCAS

In this powerful keynote, Yemurai Rabvukwa takes on imposter syndrome—reframing it as the “Imposter Monster” that lurks in the minds of professionals. Yemurai believes in naming these Imposter Monsters, because when we name them, we can tame them. One of the most notorious is the “FOMO Monster”, which thrives on the fear of being left behind in an industry that demands constant upskilling, reinvention, and adaptation.
She explores the unique challenges of the digital age, from the relentless pace of technological change to the comparison traps that leave professionals questioning their worth. Whether transitioning into a new industry or stepping into a senior role, the Imposter Monster can manifest itself as we undergo changes in our career, making us question our abilities, second-guess our achievements, and fear that we don’t truly belong.
Through her ACT Framework attendees will gain practical, actionable strategies to reframe self-doubt, build resilience, and take ownership of their success.

As the workplace undergoes rapid transformation driven by digital innovation, traditional career paths are becoming increasingly outdated. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report predicts that by 2030, nearly 39% of core skills will be obsolete within just five years. This shift underscores the urgent need to rethink how we approach talent and career development.
One way to future-proof careers is by embracing portfolio careers and non-linear trajectories, allowing individuals to adapt, innovate, and thrive in an ever-changing landscape. Organizations that prioritize internal mobility not only enhance employee retention but also foster cross-functional collaboration, encouraging professionals to apply their existing skills in new ways while continuously expanding their expertise.
This keynote challenges conventional career norms, inspiring individuals to break free from rigid career ladders and empowering organizations to build cultures that support continuous learning and growth. By recognizing the value of diverse career paths, we can unlock greater potential, drive innovation, and ensure our workforce remains resilient in the face of change.
Cybersecurity/Tech Skills Gap

A common misconception among those outside the cybersecurity industry is that it’s solely a field for coders, hackers, or penetration testers. In reality, cybersecurity encompasses a broad range of roles beyond technical positions. From cybersecurity awareness trainers who educate organizations on risk management, to online child safety specialists protecting vulnerable users, and disinformation analysts combating misinformation campaigns—there are countless ways to contribute to the field.
To effectively close the cybersecurity skills gap, we must challenge these misconceptions and actively encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds to explore the wide-ranging opportunities within the industry. By highlighting roles that leverage transferable skills—such as communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking—we can empower aspiring professionals to see where they fit in cybersecurity.
Equally important is making entry pathways more accessible. Showcasing alternative routes like Earn While You Learn programs (apprenticeships and traineeships), skills boot camps, higher education, and internal career transitions can help remove barriers and attract fresh talent.
By broadening the perception of cybersecurity careers and expanding access to entry points, we can build a stronger, more diverse workforce equipped to tackle the evolving challenges of the digital world.
