Tech Trivia with Elizabeth Rotimi, Founder of Techies on LinkedIn

Tech journeys rarely follow a straight path, and for many women entering the tech ecosystem, the early days can feel confusing and isolating. For Elizabeth Rotimi, that uncertainty became the beginning of a mission. 

Long before she became a recognised product manager and community builder, she was simply a tech enthusiast trying to navigate an industry that offered few clear roadmaps, limited resources, and almost no mentorship.

Instead of allowing that experience to slow her down, Elizabeth transformed it into purpose. As she began exploring opportunities and spending time on LinkedIn, she noticed a major gap: there was no dedicated community where tech enthusiasts could find guidance, share knowledge, and grow together. 

Determined to change that, Elizabeth Rotimi created Techies on LinkedIn, a community designed to help tech talents access the support and direction she once searched for.

What started as a simple idea has since grown into one of the most visible communities for tech professionals and aspiring talent on the platform.

Today, the community empowers tens of thousands of members by providing access to mentorship, resources, career conversations, and opportunities that help individuals move from confusion to clarity in their tech journeys.

1. Summarise your mornings in one sentence

I start my mornings with prayer and reflection, read, connect on LinkedIn and then step into focused work sessions.

2. Describe your gadget setup

I currently work from the office. So, my setup is minimal and functional as I’ve just transitioned from school into full-time work. I primarily work with my laptops and a personal device, which are all I need to stay connected, productive, and focused throughout the day.

3. What tech tools/ applications do you use the most for work?

I primarily use Linear to manage product cycles, Figma for design collaboration, ClickUp for structured execution, and Google Workspace to keep communication and documentation streamlined across teams.

4. What do you do when you need inspiration?

I curate my inspiration deliberately through reading, intentional time away from screens to think deeply and high-level conversations that challenge my assumptions. I also leverage AI as a strategic thought partner.

5. What mobile application can you not do without daily?

Gmail and LinkedIn.

6. What tech solution do you wish someone had created?

I would love a platform that integrates mental, physical, and emotional well-being into one intelligent system, using AI and real-time data to anticipate needs, offer personalised interventions, and empower people to live healthier, more balanced and productive lives.

7. If you have unlimited time and money, what problem would you solve?

If I had unlimited time and resources, I would focus on dismantling the systemic barriers that prevent young Africans from accessing global opportunities. Too often, talent exists in abundance, but access to mentorship, practical experience, and visibility is limited.

I believe that potential alone isn’t enough; what’s missing are the structures and ecosystems that allow individuals to transform their skills and ideas into real-world impact.

I would create comprehensive ecosystems that democratize mentorship, skills, and visibility at scale. These platforms would connect young professionals with experienced mentors globally, provide access to challenging projects that build tangible portfolios, and amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard.

The goal would be to ensure that every capable young person, regardless of background or location, can access opportunities that match their potential.

8. Which woman in tech inspires you the most?

Many women in tech inspire me, but one who stands out in my area of work is Tobi Otokiti. I admire her vision, the impact she’s making in the tech ecosystem, and the example she sets for emerging professionals striving to combine innovation with purpose.

9. Which profound statement inspires you the most?

Excellence is built one deliberate step at a time.” It drives me to show up fully, day after day, with intention and focus. I decide that as long as I’m present and committed, excellence is not just an outcome, but a habit, a choice I make consistently, in every task, interaction, and decision.

10. Whose women in tech trivia would you love to read?

I would love to read a Women in Tech trivia feature on Peace Itimi. I deeply admire her clarity of thought, her boldness in navigating the tech ecosystem, and the intentional way she has built her career and voice in the industry.
