HackerNoon editorial team has launched this interview series with women in tech to celebrate their achievements and share their struggles. We need more women in technology, and by sharing stories, we can encourage many girls to follow their dreams. Share your story today! Tell us about yourself! I’m a Senior Product Designer at PolyAI, focusing on building a conversational AI platform to help callers solve their issues without wasting time waiting for an available agent. Within the last nine years, I made a transition from Graphic design to UI/UX design at a design agency and then to Product design and had the pleasure of working with various great tech-led companies such as SberTech, Gett, and SpatialChat. Before the design field, I studied accounting and developed a passion for data and analytics that help me work closer with a business right now. Why did you choose this field in the first place? I had quite a rough and eventful path with the wrong career decision before I entered this field. At the time, when I should’ve selected the course at the university, I didn’t think that I could select something else apart from accounting because it was pretty straightforward, and I gave up on following my dream to become a designer. A few years later, when I wrote my work for a master’s degree and had a few years of working experience as an accountant, I understood that I didn’t love what I was doing and the only thing I loved to do was design that I learned as a hobby. It took half a year to get my first job as a Graphic designer, and then I dived into UI/UX design out of curiosity. During my first few years as a UI/UX designer at an agency, I was extremely interested in helping businesses reach their goals via interfaces but working in an agency as an outsource designer didn’t allow me to dive into business problems that deep. I made one more tiny transition from UI/UX design into Product design that enabled my full potential. I always had a passion for the design field, and by being a Product designer, I’m not just a person who designs interfaces but also helps users with their needs and assists a business in reaching goals with any technical constraints. For the last six years of work as a Product designer, I’m still extremely excited about my work and love this rapidly evolving field. What tech are you most excited/passionate about right now and why? I'm totally excited about AI and machine learning. The way these technologies are transforming everyday life and bringing simpler and smarter solutions to companies is fascinating. As a part of the AI startup, I witnessed how this technology saves companies money and helps callers faster than a human. Also, I use a lot of AI tools that already improved my working process and helped me to save time for more crucial parts of my work. This is an exciting time to live in, and I can’t wait to see what else this field can bring us in the future. What tech are you most worried about right now and why? The same as excitement, I’m most worried about AI and the ethical implications, as well as potential fraud via this powerful technology. This technology is very advanced and accessible without severe legal restrictions and regulations right now. There have already been a few cases of fraud that involved AI technology. Since there aren't many tools that can detect and prevent that kind of misuse of AI, this field could bring risks to individual privacy and data security. What are your hobbies and interests outside of tech? I’m an absolute video game fan. I love how video games create the ambiance via sounds, stories, visuals, and actions. Besides exploring new worlds, checking my reflexes, and just having fun, I use this activity as a source of inspiration for my work on interfaces. I’m in love with this field and have the same passion as I am with product design. I even tried CG art, so I have massive respect and admiration for everyone involved in game development. Let's talk about breaking the glass ceiling. What were the biggest challenges you faced as a woman in tech, and how did you deal with them? The biggest challenges I've faced as a woman in tech are fighting my impostor syndrome and biases, which led me to a lower salary rate, lack of confidence, and stagnation in my career growth. All of that caused situations where I've often found myself silent or ignored by colleagues when other people confidently shared potentially risky ideas. Regarding the impostor syndrome, it pushed me to spend many hours learning the design basis, psychology, and everything else that is directly connected to my work to prove that I’m not an impostor and have enough knowledge. It boosted my career and confidence a lot when other designers started asking for advice, a few lessons, or mentorship.All this hard work and recognition from other designers made me confident, so I started taking the initiative in conversations, pitching my ideas, and exceeding expectations when someone underestimated my skills for certain reasons. Any questionable misogynistic story/situation you faced/handled and you want to share with the HackerNoon Fam? Unfortunately, I faced many stories worth sharing, but I’ll skip the most common ones when the ideas I pitched were ignored, and when a male colleague shared the same idea a few moments later, it was a “breakthrough idea.” One situation happened in one of the latest companies I worked for; a Product manager I worked with constantly allowed abusive and respectless comments about the work of female colleagues with attempts to cut off reasonable ideas. As you can guess, the dialogues with male colleagues were full of respect and trust in their professionalism without any doubts in pitched ideas. The climax of this situation for me was when this Product manager, in a very rude form with an accent in my gender, declined my design solution without any arguments on a group call. After that call, I initiated a dialog with this product manager where I questioned the situation, and the only answer I received was a joking response that I had misunderstood. Unfortunately, the actions I made didn't help the situation, nor did chats with my direct lead and HR department. This situation taught me to stop silently ignoring such respectless behavior and ask a person a reason for that behavior or elaborate on the decision even when they commented on someone else. Eventually, it helped, and other colleagues started noticing the change, but it took a few months. This story is not an attempt to show the negatives but to highlight the way out of it. What was the biggest setback/failure that you faced, and how did you manage it? My biggest setback was spending years studying accounting and even getting a master’s degree. This decision delayed my career and made me work twice as hard to become a designer. Also, this episode of my life shows me what I’m really capable of and that I definitely should pursue my passion. What's your biggest achievement that you're really proud of? My biggest achievement is the skills I've developed during this fight with my impostor syndrome and pivot in my career. All the doubts in myself I had in the past transformed into solid knowledge and experience that I’m more than happy to share with other designers or people who would like to change their careers. As a result of all this, I have received recognition and respect from other designers I was lucky to work with, and I was given the opportunity to guide my design vision in multiple projects. In your opinion, why do we see this huge gender gap in the tech industry, and how can we reduce it? In my opinion, the gender gap in the tech industry is the consequence of many stereotypes and expectations regarding social roles for women that were set a long time ago. All these stereotypes and expectations follow women in every sphere, especially at work in the tech industry.Unfortunately, I witnessed situations when highly intelligent women with an interest in tech gave up or didn’t try to enter the industry just because they couldn’t find enough support but heard a lot of stereotypes that tech is not for women. It is especially frustrating when there are not that many women who share their stories to inspire others. To reduce this gender gap, we should continue fighting the stereotypes and misogyny and encourage women to pursue their interests in the tech industry. Also, I strongly believe that having various communities such as “Women in Tech” that provide support, share success stories, and show role models in these fields is extremely important at any stage of a career. Apart from these steps, there must be work done in the educational field to encourage young girls to explore other options because there is still a perception that technology, programming, engineering, and physics are for men. Who is your tech idol? Why? I couldn’t say that I have an idol in the tech industry, but I have a person who has inspired me a lot on my career path. I’m talking about amazingly intelligent and skilled Sasha Ermolenko, who is currently the Director of the Product Design Department at VK, which is one the biggest social networks in Russia. Each time, she offers unique insights about the design sphere, shares her strong leadership skills and expresses her thoughts about the gender gap in the design sphere. Do you have any advice for aspiring girls who want to join the field?** Yes, your career path could be tough for you in this field, but don’t give up and be afraid to follow your dreams. All your current skills, unique perspectives, interests, and strengths are already your greatest assets in this dynamic industry.Text me if you need support!

Elena Shabanova, Senior Product Designer at PolyAI: Women in Tech Interview

WOMBO, the makers of viral AI avatar apps, and io.net, a pioneer in decentralized GPU compute networks, have just struck a partnership that represents a major step towards expanding the possibilities of AI computing. This collaboration comes at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is pushing the boundaries of technology. This agreement marks a significant step forward in the development of artificial intelligence's computing capabilities. This cooperation not only represents a milestone in the development of artificial intelligence-powered applications, but it also addresses the issue of restricted processing capacity that many AI startups are now confronting. It is anticipated that over 200 million copies of WOMBO's applications have been downloaded from the Google App Store and for iOS. The firm's most popular and successful apps are WOMBO, Dream, and WOMBO Me. Because they need a significant quantity of processing power, they have found themselves drawn to io.net's cutting-edge decentralized GPU computing network. Io.net emerges as a pioneering force, offering decentralized, geo-distributed computing networks with the potential to transform the artificial intelligence infrastructure. Io.net is a pioneering organization. The ability of WOMBO to employ Apple silicon chip clusters as fuel for its machine learning (ML) models is critical to the success of this collaboration. This would help artificial intelligence enterprises overcome the challenges of cloud computing, such as high cost and limited accessibility. Partnership Goals and Technology The partnership between WOMBO and io.net comes against the background of the AI industry's battle with high cloud computing operational costs and a restricted supply of hardware. The novel technology developed by Io.net aggregates decentralized and geographically dispersed GPUs, enabling clusters to be deployed on demand for a fraction of the typical cost. This strategy has opened up new avenues of opportunity for WOMBO, allowing it to grow its AI applications more effectively and efficiently. WOMBO CEO Ben-Zion Benkhin expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are excited about partnering with io.net to help bring unused computing power and put it to use in groundbreaking AI applications - together, our teams have the potential to put a serious dent in the GPU supply shortage.” This sentiment captures the collaborative spirit and the ambitious vision shared by both companies to overcome the challenges of GPU supply constraints. Tapping into Apple’s Silicon Chips Central to this strategic alliance is an innovative endeavor that utilizes the extraordinary capabilities of Apple silicon chip clusters. This initiative is poised to leverage the Neural Engine capabilities on Apple’s chips along with io.net’s mega-clustering capabilities, tapping into hundreds of millions of consumer devices for AI workloads. This approach not only showcases the technical synergy between WOMBO and io.net but also highlights the potential for scalable AI application development on a global scale. Final Thoughts Io.net is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that develops and administers decentralized GPU clusters produced on demand from sources distributed throughout the globe. Through its infrastructure of over 520 thousand graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs), io.net democratizes access to GPU computing power, lowering prices and extending opportunities for both engineers and enterprises. This network has been optimized for use cases that need high processing demand and low latency, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning activities, as well as cloud gaming, by inventing a new compute network standard. In terms of artificial intelligence, the partnership between WOMBO and io.net represents a change towards computer solutions that are more environmentally friendly, accessible, and efficient. This cooperation, which employs distributed computing and the power of Apple silicon processors, not only prepares the path for WOMBO's future growth but also sets a pattern for how artificial intelligence firms might overcome limitations in computing capacity and cost.

Breaking Barriers in AI Development: WOMBO and io.net Unite to Tackle GPU Shortage

Although there are plenty of initiatives encouraging young women into a career in tech, the reality is that men still outnumber women by a . ratio of 3:1 Additionally, by the time students choose their majors in college, only , and just 19% of computer science majors are women. 21% of engineering majors But one woman who has lived this experience, while also managing to carve out a successful career in tech despite the systemic obstacles standing in her way, is Lori Laub. She is the CEO and founder of TruCentive, an incentives delivery platform that allows businesses to send gifts, rewards, and incentives to employees. Driven by “pure passion” to pursue a tech career, Laub credits her parents with instilling the self-belief that she could achieve anything she set her mind to. “They presented reality without sugar-coating it,” she explains. “They informed me that some people might have advantages, such as better education, stronger connections, or greater resources, which could hinder or facilitate my journey. Nonetheless, they impressed upon me that, ultimately, the outcome would hinge on how I utilized the opportunities presented to me. Ambition counts “Although they didn't phrase it in these exact terms, I've come to realize they were imparting a crucial lesson: my gender, my background, or any other aspect of my identity were not the defining factors; rather, what counted was my ambition, my commitment to my goals, and the consistency of my efforts every single day. That doesn’t mean Laub’s career path has been smooth sailing. In fact, she admits that she’s had to overcome gender stereotypes throughout her career, especially in her twenties, when clients struggled to believe she was “in charge”, and also internally when a male colleague consistently referred to her as “little lady”. “His seniority in both position and age within the company was daunting. However, I reached a point where I felt compelled to take action,” she reveals. “Initially, I politely requested that he refrain from calling me that. Still, when the behavior continued, I decided to address him as 'little man' respectfully. This prompted a dialogue between us, after which he started to use my actual name. While he occasionally reverted to the old moniker, gently correcting him became easier over time, and he eventually ceased using it altogether.” While this approach might not work for everyone, Laub advocates that all workers, regardless of rank or gender, could benefit from some self-awareness. “Ultimately, the key is consistently presenting your best version of yourself while being truthful about your strengths and improvement areas… Perfection is unrealistic; it's essential for each of us to dedicate ourselves to improving our contributions to the organization and the way we deliver them.” Tech’s doors are opening Her advice to women hoping to break into tech is similar in sentiment: “The doors to the tech industry are increasingly open to women, and the opportunities continue to expand. The question now centers on how women leverage these opportunities to enhance the workplace for the generations of women who will follow.” Ready to accelerate your career path with a challenging new role?

HackerNoon editorial team has launched to celebrate their achievements and share their struggles. We need more women in technology, and by sharing stories, we can encourage many girls to follow their dreams. ! this interview series with women in tech Share your story today Tell us about yourself! Thank you for having me! As a leading Product Manager at InDrive, a global ride-hailing service, I’m passionate about making transportation more accessible and efficient. With experience in the tech industry, surpassing more than five years, I’ve spearheaded product launches across 17 countries, impacting the lives of millions of users. Recently, I was honored to serve as a jury member for a 2023 Globee Women in Business Awards and the AI for Humanity Hackathon organized by Burning Heroes. As of 2024, I lead a talented team developing international ride-hailing services at InDrive, collaborating with colleagues from over 15 countries to ensure a seamless experience for riders and drivers worldwide. In particular, I specialize in optimizing driver-sender matches, creating solutions for users to make better deals within our platform, and using the latest cutting-edge technology, such as machine learning and economic principles. Such an approach enhances customer experience and platform efficiency – a win-win for everyone. Why did you choose this field in the first place? I’ve always been fascinated by technology’s potential to solve real-world problems and, most importantly, improve people’s lives. Plus, the fast-paced nature of tech keeps things exciting for me, with new challenges and opportunities to learn emerging technologies. In other words, the field offers a constant learning curve. Besides that, I'm particularly drawn to the collaborative culture where knowledge is shared openly within the tech community. This allows me to create solutions practically for every industry — medicine, AI, real estate — that can impact millions of people worldwide, which truly motivates me. What tech are you most excited/passionate about right now and why? While large language models (LLM) are the most anticipated development, several other technological advancements capture my interest. Here are a few areas I find particularly promising: New technologies, such as advanced biosensors and generic testing, tremendous possibilities for detecting severe diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders at earlier stages. Additionally, the growing role of big data and its practical interpretation from medical scans (MRI and CT) can lead to better diagnoses, personalized treatment plans, and improved preventative care. In fact, several innovative startups are working in this direction, and I'm eager to see their progress. Healthcare advancements: offer Fully automating back-office processes through AI would benefit tech companies, manufacturers, and other industries. While it may seem ordinary, solving this narrow problem could have a massive impact on industry and enterprises’ efficiency and productivity. AI-powered enterprise automation: Platforms allowing users to create websites without coding are changing how people access technology creation. Recently, an AI tool code and communicated as a software engineer! Just imagine building mobile apps, data dashboards, or even simple workflow tools—all without writing a single line of code. These no-code tools and numerous pilot engineering tools are slowly transforming the landscape, empowering people, and reducing production costs in the digital world. Development through no-code tools: wrote Beyond my interest in the field, the increasing complexity of transportation technologies gives me goosebumps—from self-driving cars and trucks to AI optimization and next-generation predictive analytics. Future of transportation: What tech are you most worried about right now and why? One primary concern about generative AI is the potential misuse of personal data to train these models. Although data privacy regulations are strengthening globally, there’s a lingering suspicion that corporations can still misuse personal data to gain an unfair advantage in the market. This raises a crucial question: Are these regulations compelling, and can the non-tech person understand them? What are your hobbies and interests outside of tech? I enjoy various activities that challenge me mentally and physically in my spare time. Take, for instance, tennis. It is a great way to hone my focus and develop a winning mindset. Its practice also taught me the importance of teamwork and effective conflict resolution. At the same time, psychology is another area I’m passionate about. Currently, I’m delving into Jungian Analysis, which helps me communicate with platform users unbiasedly and glean deeper insights from our conversations. This knowledge and my understanding of cultural differences foster greater empathy — a crucial skill when working on a product used in over twenty countries. I find it helpful to take conversation pauses, ask thoughtful questions, and practice active listening to bridge cultural gaps. Let's talk about breaking the glass ceiling. What were the biggest challenges you faced as a woman in tech, and how did you deal with them? Undoubtedly, the glass ceiling in tech remains a persistent issue, and statistics paint a clear picture – men significantly outnumber women. For instance, women for 25.3% of Google’s new tech hiring in 2023, compared to 20.8% in 2018. At the same time, Microsoft’s workforce to 33.1% in 2023, up from 29.2% in 2018. Other companies, such as Facebook and Apple, showed similar trends. The numbers reveal a stark reality: only one in three women work in the , compared to management, consulting, legal, or finance. accounted rose tech sector Several factors contribute to this disparity. For example, societal expectations can differ for men and women, with women often taking on greater childcare and household responsibilities. Additionally, tech can feel like a male-dominated environment, lacking role models for female leadership and fostering unconscious bias against women leading times in a traditionally masculine style. To navigate these challenges, I choose teams with inclusive cultures and actively support other women in tech. Practically speaking, I am an active participant in communities like Women in Tech that offer invaluable support networks where we can share experiences, empower each other, and curb any misogyny. Though a topic of debate, positive discrimination holds potential in the current landscape. When equally qualified candidates exist, a diverse slate can highlight potential unconscious bias within homogenous environments. The most significant challenge is ascending the corporate ladder within a male-dominated hierarchy. While some advise leveraging charisma to stand out, a more sustainable approach lies in achieving goals through shared objectives and mutual respect. Focusing solely on gender differences can reinforce bias. In contrast, a business-oriented approach fosters collaboration and paves the way for advancement. Any questionable misogynistic story/situation you faced/handled and you want to share with the HackerNoon Fam? While I may not have personally faced misogyny, it's essential to acknowledge that these situations still exist. We've all likely witnessed or heard about them. That's why standing with those who challenge inequality and fight for a more inclusive space is crucial. What's your biggest achievement that you're really proud of? One of my most significant achievements was leading the launch of intercity delivery product, which is now the leader of the mobility market in its country. It resulted in 47.4 million monthly active users by 2023. I managed five teams with numerous stakeholders and oversaw all aspects of the project, from product research to market assessment to financial planning. The product went live in over 100 cities nationwide within several months. In your opinion, why do we see this huge gender gap in the tech industry, and how can we reduce it? As mentioned earlier, the significant gender gap in tech stems from societal expectations and the industry's current culture. To bridge this gap, we need a two-pronged approach. First, we need to cultivate a more inclusive culture within tech. Initiatives like mentorship programs and fostering diverse hiring practices can help. Second, we need to address societal expectations. Normalizing women in tech and providing them with the support they need to balance work and life can create a more equitable future for the industry. Who is your tech idol? Why? Tech is full of inspiring figures, and a few people who stand out for me are Julie Zhuo, Lenny Rachitski, and Paul Graham. Julie's journey from intern to VP of design at Facebook, especially as a minority woman, is a powerful testament to her talent and perseverance. Her recent article on navigating company politics completely changed my perspective on workplace conflicts and empowered me to be more constructive. Sharing valuable insights while in leadership demonstrates her commitment to giving back and helping countless professionals. Lenny Rachitski's insightful product management blog and interviews with industry leaders offer a goldmine of knowledge for anyone in the field. His ability to spark discussions relevant to global communities makes his work exceptionally valuable. I deeply appreciate his contributions - these insights from experienced professionals are invaluable in the market. Finally, Paul Graham's writing on is a constant source of motivation. I often revisit it for inspiration. great work Do you have any advice for aspiring girls who want to join the field? Make sure your passion for this field is the driving force behind your decision. It can be challenging without support, so I recommend building a strong community around you. Look for mentors, participate in online forums, or attend industry events to connect with others. Get real-world experience through volunteering or internships related to your field. The stronger your network and the more you learn, the more opportunities will come. However, it's essential to find something you enjoy. Remember, your career path is yours to define. Don't be afraid to explore and change course if needed. And, finally, believe in yourself – no one can tell you what's impossible.

HackerNoon editorial team has launched to celebrate their achievements and share their struggles. We need more women in technology, and by sharing stories, we can encourage many girls to follow their dreams. ! this interview series with women in tech Share your story today Tell us about yourself! Absolutely! Well, to start, I'm passionate about clean/green tech and always seeking opportunities to support companies in adopting this approach, whether through investing, advising, or facilitating connections with relevant parties. I'm driven by the prospect of offering affordable products that rely entirely on renewable energy for charging, eliminating the need for wired connections. I'm particularly proud of the recognition my work has received within the telecommunications industry, such as the from CorpLiveWire for our product and overall affiliations. Overall, I'm excited about the chance to apply my skills and passion not only at my company, but also to contribute to other startups/SMEs, working towards achieving a carbon-neutral world by 2035. Specialist Telecommunications Agency Award 2023 Roam Telecoms Why did you choose this field in the first place? I chose to pursue a career in green and clean tech because I grew tired of constantly dealing with my phone's battery issues. I found it frustrating, especially when trying to stay active outdoors while relying on my phone for various tasks. This frustration, coupled with my New Year's resolution to adopt a healthier lifestyle, sparked the idea of creating a portable device that could be charged using solar energy. It was a light bulb moment for me, realizing the potential of utilizing the sun's energy to power everyday devices. This inspiration led me to develop the Roam Solar Phone, a product designed to provide a sustainable and reliable solution to the problem of battery life while on the go, and launch it during my final year of business school. What tech are you most excited/passionate about right now and why? Currently, I'm most excited about green and clean tech, particularly the advancements in solar-powered devices. My passion for this technology stems from personal frustration with traditional battery-powered devices and a desire to find sustainable solutions. The potential of harnessing solar energy to power everyday devices, like the Roam Solar Phone and the rest of our IP portfolio, and being able to push the R&D of future products to develop and being able to one day offer it to the masses at an affordable rate, is incredibly exciting to me. I believe that embracing green and clean tech not only addresses environmental concerns but also offers practical and innovative solutions to everyday challenges by being able to create a universal product everyone can be able to buy without breaking the bank and knowing the technology will last years. What tech are you most worried about right now and why? One area of technology that concerns me greatly is the issue of e-waste. The rapid advancement of technology has led to a constant stream of new gadgets and devices being introduced into the market, resulting in a significant increase in electronic waste. This e-waste poses serious environmental and health risks, as many electronic devices contain toxic materials that can leach into the soil and water if not disposed of properly. Additionally, the improper disposal of e-waste contributes to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, further exacerbating the climate crisis. We must address this issue by promoting responsible recycling and disposal practices, as well as encouraging manufacturers to design products with longevity and recyclability in mind. By taking action to mitigate the impact of e-waste, we can work towards building a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. What are your hobbies and interests outside of tech? Outside of my work in tech, I prioritize my health and well-being by engaging in various activities that allow me to unwind and recharge. I enjoy staying active through activities like going for a run or attempting to do yoga, which not only keeps me physically fit but also helps me maintain a balanced mindset. Additionally, I'm passionate about continuously improving my soft skills and interpersonal abilities, so I often seek out opportunities for personal development and self-improvement through networking events, courses, or even by reading. Spending quality time with my family and friends is also a top priority for me, as I value the connections and new memories we create together. Whether it's exploring new places, trying out new restaurants, or simply enjoying each other's company at home, these moments are incredibly meaningful to me. Let's talk about breaking the glass ceiling. What were the biggest challenges you faced as a woman in tech, and how did you deal with them? As a woman in the tech industry, I've faced the significant challenge of feeling overlooked or underestimated due to my gender and age in certain professional settings. However, I've learned to perceive these moments not as obstacles but as opportunities for personal growth and self-reflection. When I find myself in an environment where my contributions are not valued or respected, I realize that it may not be the right fit for me. Thus, I actively seek out spaces where my voice is heard and my perspective is valued. Fortunately, I've been privileged to surround myself with a supportive network of individuals who share a common vision and embrace the power of diversity and inclusion within the industry. By aligning myself with like-minded peers and mentors who champion these values, I've been able to overcome these challenges and continue to thrive in the tech sector, contributing my unique perspective and expertise. Any questionable misogynistic story/situation you faced/handled, and you want to share with the HackerNoon Fam? While raising a Series A round for an energy start-up in late 2022, I encountered a situation where a capital partner company in London consistently undermined me, suggesting it would be better to hear from a man. Despite leading the investment round and possessing in-depth technical knowledge of the project, I was subjected to this dismissive behavior, because the information coming from a female wouldn’t be correct as if it were coming from a male engineer. I was simply taken aback, I ended up closing the meeting and looking for other investors who’d share the same vision as myself. If any investors talk down to a founder or any team member, because of their gender, I would highly suggest you walk away from the investment, as chances are if the LP has treated you this way and thinks it’s right then they’re doing it to others. It was a stark reminder of the stigma female founders, especially women of color, often face in the startup world. highlighted that only 3% of venture-backed companies are female-led, with even fewer if you're a person of color. Despite these challenges, I persisted, connected with the right individuals, and ultimately secured funding for the venture. Harvard Business Review What was the biggest setback/failure that you faced, and how did you manage it? One significant setback occurred in 2020 during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Global Chip Shortage, impacting various hardware-based industries, including automotive. To overcome this, we implemented an in-house initiative to recycle components and collaborated with IT companies to prevent e-waste. By recycling, extracting, and testing semiconductors, we were able to reuse them in client prototypes, mitigating the impact of the shortage. Another setback during the same period involved a failed PCB board delivery, with the manufacturer incorrectly altering the joints from our original file during production. We resolved this issue by manually jumping the board, although it prompted us to explore alternatives, such as 3D printing our PCBs internally for more effective control over production quality. What's your biggest achievement that you're really proud of? My greatest achievement comes from my professional accomplishments, which include building an extensive IP portfolio at Roam Telecoms alongside my exceptional team. Additionally, as a co-founder of , my media company, I'm excited about our upcoming launch of a new subsidiary company specializing in PR. Moreover, my role in an Asset Management company has afforded me the opportunity to work closely with SMEs, offering mentorship, facilitating connections, and making investments. I find great fulfillment in sharing knowledge and fostering a ripple effect where others can similarly empower those around them. TechGraph In your opinion, why do we see this huge gender gap in the tech industry, and how can we reduce it? The underrepresentation of women in tech can be attributed to several deep-rooted cultural and systemic factors, including early gender stereotyping that steers girls away from STEM fields, lack of prominent female role models, gender biases and discrimination in hiring and workplace cultures, and funding disparities faced by female tech entrepreneurs. Addressing this significant gender gap requires a multi-faceted approach, spanning educational reforms with focused STEM outreach for girls and revamped curricula, workplace initiatives like diversity training, fair practices, and anti-harassment policies, as well as increased investment and mentorship opportunities for women in tech. Fundamentally, achieving gender parity in the industry necessitates a cultural shift in attitudes towards women, coupled with systemic changes in education, workplaces, and funding ecosystems to create an inclusive and supportive environment that taps into the entire talent pool. Who is your tech idol? Why? I don’t really have a tech idol, but I would say my mother and my older sisters, as each female member of my family possess a trait to that I admire and work towards honing. Do you have any advice for aspiring girls who want to join the field? Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and speak up, always follow your gut instinct and pave your own path. Most importantly, always remember your worst days are actually your best, you learn a lot from it.

The Noonification: Gender Bias in Tech: 73% of Women Report Experiencing Discrimination (3/12/2024)

For years, women have struggled to prove they have a place in the male-dominated tech field. Although there are a few more female CEOs and inclusivity campaigns, the glass ceiling remains intact. Will gender discrimination push women out of the tech sector for good? Most Women in Tech Experience Gender Bias The “Me Too” movement, the increasing awareness of gender bias, and the widespread push for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices might lull you into thinking women are finally on equal footing with their male colleagues. In reality, have experienced gender discrimination recently. It seems the tech sector isn’t willing to abandon its biases yet. 73% of women in tech Even though women hold a fraction of tech jobs, they experience bias at unparalleled levels. Those who are part of ethnic or sexual orientation minorities are at an even bigger disadvantage because they face double the discrimination. While many tech companies are quick to describe themselves as inclusive, statistics show the reality is much different. Usually, discrimination starts early. Gender-coded language in job descriptions and conversations leads to women taking on stereotypically “feminine” responsibilities that center around care and chores. When you’re a woman in tech, your chance of hitting obstacles is much higher than men, even if you’re competent and skilled. While some people might argue even the best leaders , the statistics don’t lie — most companies repeatedly favor their male employees. experience unexpected setbacks and letdowns How Women Experience Discrimination at Work Were you ever told not to believe everything you read online? You’d do well to follow that advice when it comes to tech companies’ statements about inclusion and gender equality. What they say versus how they act doesn’t align more often than it should. Despite 82% of venture capitalists claiming they’re prioritizing DEI practices to help underrepresented groups, say investors have harassed them. A staggering 65% were propositioned for sex. Another 50% said they were told they’d get more money if they were a man. 40% of women tech startup founders On top of occasionally receiving harassment from investors, most women experience gender-based bias daily at the hands of their team members and bosses. For example, they’re frequently passed over for promotions in favor of their male colleagues. Many are judged or held to different standards because they work in a historically male-dominated field. Even if women have the same — or better — education and skill levels as their male team members, they’re still thought of as having less potential and being less qualified. Research shows companies of praise, regardless of context. consider them less deserving When you’re a woman in tech, it seems your work isn’t all that impressive. That is, until one of your male colleagues steals the credit for your ideas — then it’s the most brilliant thing your team has ever heard. This scenario might sound unrealistic, but plenty of women have similar stories. Even if you don’t encounter sexual harassment or have your work stolen by male team members, you probably experience gender-based microaggressions daily. When you’re a woman, people are likelier to comment on your appearance at work, speak over you in meetings, and question your judgment during projects. How Discrimination Impacts Every Level of a Company The myth that women only suffer gender bias in entry-level positions has existed for too long. In reality, the discrimination they deal with isn’t just an unconventional method to prove their value in the workplace — and it doesn’t stop when they get promoted. Whether you’re a high-ranking executive, a lowly intern, or the founder of your own startup, you’re almost guaranteed to experience gender discrimination as a woman in the tech sector. In some cases, getting a promotion might make you more vulnerable to it. Ironically enough, the only reason many women don’t experience gender discrimination in upper management positions is because sexism prevents them from getting promotions. They of C-suite leaders. Unfortunately, they’re seen as less competent than men — even when they have better skills and more experience. account for only 28% When you’re a woman, you’re less likely to be recognized for your achievements in fields where intelligence and innovation are highly valued. Most people subconsciously associate those kinds of words with men. For example, the term “visionary” was used to describe men it was used. 61% of the time When Will Women Have a Place in the Tech Sector? Although many tech companies are exploring DEI initiatives and inclusivity campaigns, the odds are still stacked against you when you’re a woman in tech. If you know you will see biased job descriptions, experience discrimination at work, and can’t even fund a startup without receiving harassment, you’re obviously going to be less inclined to enter the field. Even if you’re already working in the sector, chances are you won’t stay for long. Women leave tech roles at of men. Who could blame you? The gender discrimination starts when you pick your major and doesn’t stop even when you reach the C-suite. nearly double the rate If gender bias continues to be an issue in the tech sector, you can be sure women’s interest in the field will drop drastically. Although female mentors, DEI practices, and all-female hype teams can help carve a space out for this underrepresented group, there’s no guarantee they’ll want to stay there unless they feel they truly belong. The Tech Sector Has a Gender Discrimination Problem Fixing the discrimination problem is a combined effort. Every employee — regardless of whether they’re in the C-suite or an intern — has to rethink their gender-coded language, confront their subconscious biases, and support their female colleagues if they want to give this field any hope of recovering.
