I started building my career to escape the limits set for me by my background, but today I continue to do it because it's what I love.

Organisations today must strive to constantly recalibrate their processes to promote a diverse, inclusive, and progressive workplace culture.

Entrenched social norms, unconscious biases and a lack of representation of women in senior roles create barriers for women looking to enter the workforce.

This year, we have more case studies and proof points than ever of the ability to create and reap the benefits of gender-balanced teams.

Although opportunities for women have grown in the workplace, there’s still a significant gap between male and female employees in management.

High performance is about accomplishing your objectives and functioning at your personal best. Regardless of our end goal, it's the actions we take to reach it that truly count.

How do we challenge tech companies to review practices to become more inclusive and to empower women to bring out their best potential?

One way to tackle the underrepresentation challenge is by encouraging greater numbers of young women to consider IT as a career choice.

A key factor in growing the number of women founders is attracting and retaining more women in the sector in the first place. 

We need to get more proactive about identifying and securing capable women who we can train and mentor into roles of increasing responsibility and challenge.

The evolution of tech is having an irreversible effect on some of the biggest issues of our day: societal structure, the global workplace, and the future of our planet.

My pathway to becoming a software developer wasn’t traditional or planned. It was only by realising the breadth of opportunity that a career in technology offers that I decided to take the leap.

From my experience and that of my peers, it’s still possible, and probable, for women to thrive in tech - whether they’re technical, specialists, or non-technical generalists.

In 2023, we still have less than 35% of women on boards in Australia. It seems that glass ceilings still exist, even on boards.

Here's how you can contribute and make a difference - by including the crucial component of 'purpose' to not just deal with, but welcome change.

As we celebrate International Women's Day, the theme of "Embracing Equity" invites us to strive for a future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their gender or lived experiences.

With the theme of ‘cracking the code, this year’s International Women’s Day is all about using innovation and tech to break down barriers for women across a range of industries.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, closing the global gender gap has increased by a generation from 99.5 years to 135.6 years.

Having pivoted into cybersecurity over the past one and a half years, I can say with certainty that this growing industry holds so many prospects for women.

We are seeing a wave of technology experts come to the fore, and part of this is a growing number of women who play a significant role in how technology is created and utilised.

Advocating for women and helping to bridge the gender gap in tech is not something done on the side. Instead, it must become a mindset.

According to a recent report, we’re in the midst of a ‘great breakup’ - a phenomenon that’s causing female leaders to leave their jobs at the highest rate ever witnessed.

Diverse representation in the industry, particularly in leadership positions, has been limited, resulting in a technology landscape that can, at times, be homogeneous and lacking in varied perspectives.

The planet desperately needs more people to act sustainably, but that burden of responsibility shouldn't fall squarely on women's shoulders.
