Karin Nijssen – Supervisor Development and Product Owner at Hoffelijk

To me the paradigm that ‘tech is not for woman’ has been shifting for a long time here in the Netherlands. The stereotype that only “geeky male nerds” would enroll into IT-orientated studies is behind us. Sure woman are underrepresented in most tech-departments, and sure the more technological savvy the job position is, the less… Read More Karin Nijssen – Supervisor Development and Product Owner at Hoffelijk

Christina Burkhardt – Founder of SHIFTSCHOOL

I grew up in a little village – which means I had never seen any female founders. Becoming a founder was challenging and very demanding – but at the same time, it felt like a big adventure where you have no idea where you’ll finally end up.

Rosie Fortunello – Co-Founder of Business Sisters and management consultant

We need female role models. Our mindset is formed by our surroundings. If we do not see any successful women in tech… how can we imagine that they are out there?

Vedrana Miholić – Sales Director at CROZ

It is enough if women want to be part of tech world. I am sure they can make it if they just give it a fair try.

Aiste Lehmann – Founder and CEO of re:event

There are still too less women in science, politics and leadership positions, and this is a systematic issue.

Shannon Graybill – Co-Founder of Le Wagon Portugal

I feel that many of us, and particularly women when it comes to technology, have these preconceived ideas about ourselves and our own abilities which create self-imposed prisons. The only way to combat the ‘fake news’ women tell themselves is by educating women in technology and proving to them through this education how capable they… Read More Shannon Graybill – Co-Founder of Le Wagon Portugal

Anja Hendel – Director of Porsche Digital Lab

I instantly think that there are still far too few women in this field.
