Shaped by her experiences as a child refugee, fleeing Nazi Vienna for the UK without her parents at the age of five, Dame Shirley vowed to make her life one worth saving.

In the early 1960s, against all norms of the time, she founded her own women-only software business, pioneering new ways of working and opening doors for women in the workplace. Thirty years later that business was valued at almost $3bn and floated on the London Stock Exchange.

She is now a successful venture philanthropist, supporting causes close to her heart and investing in the future of the technology industry. She has given away the majority of her wealth and is the first person to drop out of the Sunday Times Rich List as a result of philanthropic giving.

Her life, career achievements and generosity are truly nothing less than remarkable.
