“Honestly, I don’t see a gender gap, we’ve progressed significantly in bridging it. The real issue isn’t the lack of women in tech, but how their voices are received. Assertiveness is mistaken for aggression, confidence for arrogance. The real ‘action’ we need is to normalise strong female leadership without questioning it. Let women lead, speak, and challenge the norm – without second-guessing. When inclusion stops being a “diversity KPI” and starts being the norm, that’s when we’ll know we’ve truly accelerated change, personally and professionally.”
