Kerrie Jordan, Group Vice President of Product Management, Epicor

I believe there needs to be more intentional engagement at all levels of society, industry, and business to support and retain women in tech. Starting in early childhood education, encouraging curiosity in technology can spark a lifelong passion. Early in career, offering a people-manager promotion can set a trajectory to leadership. Midcareer, enabling flexibility through hybrid work and remote work policies can be a lifeline to keep women in the workforce. Later in career, entrusting more women to serve as executives and board members can model the way for next generations of women leaders.
