8 March 2023, on International Women's Day, Abelia (NHO's association for knowledge and technology companies) and ODA-Nettverk named Norway’s 50 leading women in Tech.

Genus is thrilled to share that Nina has been selected as one of these 50 inspiring women. She is the Team Lead in Genus for Public Safety, manages a team of 12, and is a part of our operational management team.

“We are proud that Nina is selected as one of Norway’s leading women in tech. She is a role model and inspiration in everything she does, with long experience in no-code application development. She cares about our customers and her team. As a leader, she ensures that team members are seen, heard, and inspired at work.”

– Christophe Birkeland, CEO of Genus

A passion for making applications in the public sector accessible

Nina is responsible for our work at Norway’s Police IT unit (PIT), our largest customer in the public sector. PIT has about 700 employees, and Nina and her team are essential to creating better IT solutions for Norway's population and the police force.

“Creating accessible and critical applications for the public sector that is the best possible for as many people as possible is a passion of mine, and it has been since I started in Genus in 2010. The public needs to be able to serve itself.”

– Nina Elisabeth Holt, Team Lead Public Sector

No-code enables more women into Tech 

Nina presents people with application development without using code (no-code). This technology allows more people to develop software than traditional development.

“With no-code app development in Genus, you can create an enterprise application in weeks instead of months. The process is quick and easy because you can use pre-built templates and drag-and-drop features. You don't need to be an expert in programming to develop no-code apps. Now, anyone with a basic understanding of technology and logic can create an app - allowing more people to work in Tech.”

– Nina Elisabeth Holt, Team Lead Public Sector

Statistically speaking, more women are represented in no-code app development. A solid 15%* more women work with no-code compared to traditional development (*Forrester survey from 2019).

“We should strive for diversity today, which means that women develop more applications. I believe in the future of no-code, and if this also means more women in tech, I am glad to be a part of it.”

– Nina Elisabeth Holt, Team Lead Public Sector
