Just like any other industry, gender biases are permeated in the technology sector as well. This is very obvious with how the Tech world is referred to as male-dominated.


A survey by JobsforHer observed that 82% of the women working in Tech feel unheard in their jobs. With already existing gender biases that women are fighting daily, this unconscious bias impedes females from enhancing their skills and experience. As their skills and contributions are not recognized women often feel less motivated to perform better or to participate in the team. With no presentation of equal opportunities, the chances of females developing mental health issues have been listed out amongst the grave concern by experts.

These are just some of the topics we will refer to in this fireside chat with Julieta del Rio, Head of IT Sourcing North America at Ericsson. Furthermore, we will adress her long term experience as a tech female leader, the challenges she faced while rising to the top and the opportunities hidden in plain sight for today female executives.
