Championing women in tech leadership is not only good for equality; it's good for business.    Here's why it matters. 👇    ♻️ Share to amplify the critical role of women in technology.    Research shows that companies with more women in senior positions are   - more profitable,   - more socially responsible, and   - provide higher-quality customer experiences     Harvard Business Review Research findings reveal companies with at least one woman in an executive position are:    - more receptive to change and less prone to risk  - more inclined to prioritize R&D over M&A  - more likely to foster an environment that encourages more women to join their ranks    Yet despite the benefits...     LinkedIn's data shows a concerning drop in women's representation in C-suite roles—to 25% from 46% at entry levels.    Women are often not seen as the "default" leaders due to outdated beliefs about who’s supposed to be assertive or decisive.     What could be done to drive more women into leadership and keep them there?    ✅Address "The Broken Rung"   ✅Make workplaces that *work* for women   ✅Implement a clear path to the C-Suite  ✅Provide flexible work arrangements  ✅Become an outspoken ally and sponsor   ✅Challenge outdated norms and beliefs  ✅Get actionable insights from leaders and experts   ✅Join Chief in Tech Summit #WTGC2024   What else would you add? #ChiefinTech WomenTech Network Executive Women in Tech (EWIT) #womenintech #leadership

366 impressive WOMEN in TECH to watch in 2024... 👩🏽💻👩🏼🔬👩🏻🏫 366? What?! 🤯 I've set myself the challenge of watching one great story, told by an impressive woman working in technology - for EVERY DAY of 2024. 🙌🏻 Why? Because in 2023 I shared an awful lot of cool stuff on Linkedin but when it came to keynotes, videos and presentations, the majority of my examples were male. Not intentionally. And not because they were always the best storytellers either... They were often the most senior folks in the industry relevant to my post. It wasn’t "unconscious bias" on my part. For example, if I was sharing a list of AI keynotes from the most senior execs in the industry then there was no way around it. They’re mostly male: Shantunu, Satya, Arvind, Sundar, Sam, Mark… But it’s a self-perpetuating cycle that isn’t helped when business conference organisers who need to sell tickets put more men on the stage. “SALARY beats STORY” in many cases when booking keynote speakers for the BIG industry conferences. eg. In Davos next week, 76% of the 120 main speakers for WEF are male. (Only 29 of 120 are female according to one schedule I saw in advance). 🤷🏻♀️ It’s far too often the “HiPPO” or a sponsorship package that dictates who the presenters are - often based on their position rather than their presentation or storytelling skills. And we end up in a vicious circle. We know technology is a very male dominated industry. In 2023 74% of employees were male and within the field of AI where I spend most of my time, women still only account for around 22% of the workforce. Gender pay gaps are real and despite the many amazing initiatives out there, we still don't do a good enough job of inspiring young girls to excel in STEM subjects. The only way to start breaking that cycle is to start promoting a broader perspective, right? So I’m making a concerted effort to showcase some amazing women in technology this year. Because in my experience (irrelevant of their job title) women are often the better storytellers. [DEBATE?!] ♀ One of many reasons is biological and has to do with the higher levels of oxytocin that women have naturally and (generally speaking), that's often why women have a greater capacity for empathy; one of the most important skills for any communicator. 💙 So… If you'd like some DAILY INSPIRATION from a few great presenters that you might not have seen much of before, let me introduce you to: 🤖 Mira Murati 🪙 Dr. Talia Gershon 🎥 Cleo Constantine Abram 🧠 Dr. Rana el Kaliouby, Ph.D. ☁️ Clara Shih 🔴 Prof. Jennifer Eberhardt ⚖️ Dr. Margaret Mitchell 💬 Kieran Snyder ♠️ Liv Boeree 🖤 Timnit Gebru 👩🏻💻 Prof Fei-Fei Li I’ll be posting 7 more every Sunday for the rest of the year. Until we have 366 by December 31st!!! 🙌🏻 I’D LOVE TO KNOW YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS - so I can add them to the page: https://lnkd.in/eww4ynYz

How can we be stretched if we don’t intentionally broaden our perspective? Thanks to Jeremy Connell-Waite for helping us do just that. He’s compiled a list of 366 impressive women in tech share their stories. One story a day for the rest of the year. Why women? Simple. We need to proactively support women to break the inequity cycle that we see every single day. We need to listen (really listen) to diverse lived experiences to be better informed and make decisions. We need to spotlight women from a breadth of backgrounds to inspire others to step into their power. And, arguably women are better storytellers. Just ask Jeremy, Gabrielle, or me 🙂

The technology sector is one of the fastest-growing industries, yet women remain significantly underrepresented, especially in leadership roles. For women navigating this male-dominated field, breaking the glass ceiling requires a strategic approach. This article provides actionable strategies for overcoming barriers, advancing careers, and thriving in technology.https://https://lnkd.in/gcf6YqWx
