Georgie Steele
Recognized early on as one of the UK’s most promising female engineers, Georgina has since shaped high-impact innovations across Formula 1 at McLaren Racing and AI tech unicorn Tractable, where her proof-of-concept for a global insurer helped secure a $1 billion valuation. She went on to lead multiple engineering teams at Sylvera, scaling backend systems by over tenfold and overseeing core, end-to-end product development. Now, as co-founder and CTO of Maiven, Georgina has raised £1.5 million in pre-seed funding to build AI-driven solutions that guide companies through climate policies, redirecting potential fines into tangible climate action.
Beyond her technical prowess, Georgina is an advocate for diversity and inclusion, having created mentorship schemes for over 100 underrepresented individuals, championed more inclusive hiring practices and represented UN Women UK at the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women. By uniting deep technical expertise with a commitment to social impact, Georgina’s work paves the way for a more sustainable and equitable future in tech.
