Born in London and raised in Lagos, June Angelides grew up watching women carry many roles at once. The idea that a career should narrow you down to one title never made sense to her.
She started at Silicon Valley Bank. On her second maternity leave, she founded Mums in Technology, the UK's first child-friendly coding school, teaching hundreds of women to code with their babies in the room.
Today June is a mother of three, Venture Partner at Samos Investments and founder of Levare Ventures, backing deep tech, life sciences and healthtech across Europe and Africa. She sits on the boards of Ruka Hair, Jude and Code First Girls, and advises the UK government on women-led businesses. With her sister, she co-founded Mama's Breakfast Club CIC, feeding children daily in the city where she grew up.
She believes the modern career is a portfolio, not a ladder. Her research finds 65% of portfolio careerists do not know their effective hourly rate. The Portfolio Method, used in over 20 countries, gives professionals a clear price on their time, a career mix that matches their life, and a way to grow without burning out.
