51 - You Are Not Too Much: Jessica Brieger on Neurodiversity, ESG, and Turning Curiosity Into Superpower
Description
In this episode of She Talks Tech, I sit down with Jessica Brieger, a bold voice in ESG, social impact, and AI. Jessica’s journey is anything but linear. From her early love of biology to a career spanning automotive, mining, sustainability, and advocacy for neurodiversity, she has embraced curiosity as her compass.
We talk about what it means to grow up different, to discover her autism later in life, and to navigate spaces that were not always built with inclusion in mind. Jessica opens up about the role her mother played in shaping her love for tech, her winding path across industries, and why she believes being “too much” is actually a superpower.
What we cover in this episode:
✅ Jessica’s childhood in Germany and her early curiosity for science
✅ Lessons from her mother, a self-made CEO and constant source of inspiration
✅ How she discovered her neurodivergence and what neuro-inclusive workplaces should look like
✅ The beauty of being a “scanner personality” and refusing to live a linear career path
✅ Building impact across sustainability, diversity, and ESG
✅ Why AI excites her and the importance of tackling bias in technology
✅ Her letter to her younger self and the reminder that you are never “too much”
Jessica’s story is a reminder that difference is strength, and that our curiosity and uniqueness can shape not just careers but entire industries.
