From telecom executive to movement-builder, Angela Mirembe Semwogerere has consistently embodied the intersection of strategy, innovation, and empowerment.
As the founder and CEO of Coding in Heels and the General Manager at Spidd Africa, she champions digital literacy as both a right and a tool for transformation—especially for young women in Uganda.
Her journey began in technology and telecommunications, with over a decade of experience in IT and digital systems.
Her role wasn’t confined to cubicles: Angela’s global education and operational expertise positioned her as a natural advocate for the opportunities that the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) could unlock—if, crucially, women and girls were included.
In response, she founded Coding in Heels, a boldly named social enterprise with a clear mission: to inspire and equip girls and women to embrace STEM with confidence and creativity.
Through mentorship, skills training, and community engagement, Coding in Heels dismantles stereotypes and opens access to technology. It’s not just branding—it’s a movement that speaks to representation and possibility.
Her influence spans leadership and policy. As General Manager of Spidd Africa, Angela helps steer strategic direction for one of Uganda’s forward-thinking tech platforms.
She also serves on Uganda’s National Taskforce on Emerging Technologies, shaping how the country responds to the 4IR, and is an IVLP (International Visitor Leadership Program) alumni, signaling her stature as a global thinker. Spidd’s 2025 ‘#Tech She-Roe’ recognition extols her as a visionary championing digital literacy and gender inclusivity.
She is also a sought-after voice at conferences and masterclasses.
In mid-2024, she delivered a LinkedIn-led webinar—“Leveraging Networking and Strategic Partnerships for Career and Business Growth”—emphasizing authentic connection, alignment of values, and future-readiness in the digital age.
Angela Mirembe Semwogerere demonstrates that digital leadership is not just about innovation—it’s about invitation.
Through platforms like Coding in Heels and institutional roles, she invites women not only to participate in tech’s future—but to lead it.
