Ms. Joy Chinwe Aguguo

Joy Chinwe Aguguo is a Software Test Engineer, doctoral researcher at De Montfort University, public speaker, author and health advocate. With a background in Marketing, a master’s degree in HRM and CIPD Level 7 qualifications, her career took her from HR into technology, where curiosity led her to software testing. Her experience in technology sparked a deeper question: what happens to women before they leave? Joy’s PhD explores employee disengagement among women in the UK technology sector, shifting attention beyond employee exit to the less visible psychological withdrawal that may develop while women remain in their jobs. Her research seeks to deepen understanding of the workplace and gendered experiences shaping women’s disengagement before exit. Joy is CEO of Joy Chinwe Ltd and founder of Joy in Health, promoting health awareness in underserved communities. She is also the author of The Morning Sunset and The Stories of inspiration. She uses storytelling and public speaking to inspire, educate and encourage positive change.
