Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs start with someone simply taking a chance on you.

When no one would hire her without experience, Yeliz didn’t give up – she got creative. Today, she’s leading cloud transformation office at Natwest Switzerland, building systems that power a global private bank. But the road here? Anything but straight.

In this episode of Tech Inspired, Priska Burkard sits down with Yeliz Obrist to explore the pivots, restarts, and reinventions that shaped her 20+ year journey in tech – from statistics to system engineering, from Turkey to Switzerland, and from doubt to DevOps.

🔍 What you’ll take away from this episode:

• The power of one “yes” that changed everything – and how to recognise that moment when it comes.
• What it really means to build in the cloud, and why it’s more collaborative (and creative!) than you think.
• How to navigate career breaks, redundancy, and starting over – without losing your fire.
• Practical advice for breaking into cloud engineering (especially in the Swiss market).
• Her take on the future of infrastructure, and why humans will always be at the heart of innovation.

This is an episode for the problem-solvers, the career restarters, the quietly resilient – and anyone who’s ever wondered if it’s too late to learn something new. (Spoiler: it’s not.)
