Khadija Khan
Khadija is a Melbourne-based software engineer and business analyst who spent years building systems for other people's brands before deciding it was time to build one of her own. She started The Monday Stack because she kept looking for a site that took ambitious working women seriously and kept coming up empty. She moved to Melbourne in 2021, is mum to a very opinionated three-year-old, works full-time in corporate, and runs this site on the side. Some weeks that feels impressive. Most weeks it just feels like a lot of tabs open. Her non-negotiables are a Higher Ground coffee, a good framework, and at least one episode of reality TV before bed. In her free time, you can find her at the beach (weather permitting, of course), deep in a horror, thriller or testing the latest AI tool before it makes it onto the site.
