The topic of women in IT is close to my heart professionally and personally, as I am a woman myself and work in IT. My concern is to make women in IT more visible as technology is a cross-cutting issue and moves all industries. It is changing health as well as consumer experience and education.
50% of our society is women. We need to ensure that women are not only there as users but where decisions are made, where research is done...where people talk about the framework and how technology is used.

I have been working in IT for over 20 years. I started there as a process consultant after my business studies focusing on information management. I have managed and consulted on customer projects at home and abroad in various industries on different requirements/solutions.
Since my start, I have worked in different roles and teams and expanded my knowledge in various business areas.
My current role is in a CEO strategic team. Our focus is to give our female IT experts more visibility internally and externally. We are helping them build their public speaking skills so they can talk about their topic on stages, events, trade shows, etc.
