WOMENINTECH founders, Sarah Luxford and Nikki Watkins, have been active in the tech industry for over 30 years. They established this movement to pursue positive change by liberating female talent, cultivating an inclusive culture and generating a diverse workforce.
Today’s stats speak for themselves. Why do the world’s leading tech companies still employ a 70% male workforce? Why are there so few women in senior leadership roles? Why are organisations that are so keen to remove gender inequality still struggling to achieve their goals?
Thinking they would see a different picture in the US, Women in Tech’s founders Sarah Luxford and Nikki Watkins went to California’s Silicon Valley where they met with 50 of the top women working in tech to observe best practice.
This led to an extensive outreach to explore the issue across borders. Gender balance was highlighted as being a global problem in the tech industry and verified the importance of founding a movement based in London, to pursue positive change by liberating female talent, cultivating an inclusive culture and generating a diverse workforce.
TLA Women in Tech is a volunteer led social movement, dedicated to driving positive action for a fairer and more inclusive tech and digital industry. If you would like to provide support as a volunteer, please drop us a note at admin@tlawomeintech.org.
