How women are rewriting the rules of leadership

 

 

Women make up 47% of the US workforce, yet in tech, only 25% of roles are held by women. At the leadership level, that figure drops even further to just 11%.


AND Digital set out to uncover the real, raw experiences of female tech leaders through a deep dive into the challenges, barriers, and successes they face. Our goal? To understand how businesses can attract, retain, and empower more women in leadership—and create a tech industry that truly supports them.
