Hustle Crew: Community-led education for ambitious leaders in tech and beyond.

Since launching as a meet-up community in London in 2016, Hustle Crew has worked with the biggest brands in tech and beyond to deliver talks, training and events focused on providing essential career skills for ambitious leaders of all levels and backgrounds.

Our work focuses on levelling the playing field for women and other underrepresented groups, inspired by our Founder & CEO Abadesi’s career journey working across startups and big tech corporations.

  • The impact of Hustle Crew's workshops has extended far beyond the two hours we spend together into every aspect of how we think about building an inclusive and supportive company."

    Camille Rickets, Head of Marketing, Notion

  • The Hustle Crew program is not like previous diversity and inclusion workshops I have attended and is very discussion led, enforcing the learnings and ensuring no one gets left behind or slacks off!

    Mike Zinkiewich, Head of People, Resident Advisor

  • Our session went beyond our expectations. Hustle Crew were able to powerfully engage our 100 attendees virtually, and build empathy as well as ignite intention for action within our community, which was brilliant to be part of.

    Victoria Brooks, President, Bloom Network

  • I heard great things about Hustle Crew. After experiencing one of their workshops I can share that they GREATLY exceeded my expectations.

    Brett Hellman, Founder & CEO, Matter

  • Time well spent with Hustle Crew, we thoroughly recommend.
