It wasn’t that long ago that women in senior positions in the technology sector were a rarity. Today, those numbers are climbing. However, there’s still room for improvement. Deloitte Global predicts that large technology firms, on average, will reach nearly 33% overall female representation in their workforces in 2022.

Research shows that gender-diverse teams offer companies improved problem-solving tools, broader thinking, and better solutions. This directly translates into outperforming competitors and higher earnings. It’s been a slow process, but women are now represented throughout the tech industry and act as role models and mentors to new generations of women entering the field.
