Women in Design & Tech Leadership - Panel Discussion
summary
Discussion cites NCWIT evidence that gender diversity in senior management raises financial performance, notes India’s female labor-force share falling from 37% (2005) to the low 20s and Southeast Asia’s child marriage drop from ~50% to ~30% in ten years. Recommended, actionable steps include formal sponsorship (put reputation on the line), mentor men as well as women, redesigning offsites to avoid overnight or late-night formats, building tech resources (a research-driven women’s content platform) and deliberately pushing qualified women into stretch roles.
