Join Cara Dailey, T. Rowe Price Chief Data Officer; Maribeth Achterberg, The Boldt Group Chief Information Technology Officer, and Namrita Mahindro, Aditya Birla Group Chief Data & Information Officer, in this transformative session designed to empower and equip attendees with the tools needed to bridge the leadership gap for women in the technology sector.

With the current landscape showing a clear disparity in leadership advancement—where for every 100 men promoted to managerial roles, only 87 women, including fewer women of color, are promoted—this session offers a proactive approach to fostering female leadership in tech. 

Core discussion points:

1. Turning skepticism into opportunities: While women in tech may feel skeptical about advancement opportunities, companies with strong female leadership have shown higher levels of equitable pay, employee satisfaction, and loyalty. This discussion will delve into how these positive outcomes can be leveraged to inspire more women to take on leadership roles. 

2. Empowering women through supportive networks: Focusing on enhancing women’s self-confidence and visibility, this segment will discuss how establishing strong mentorships, engaging in leadership training, and promoting assertive self-presentation are essential for empowering women in their career advancement.

3. Enhanced recognition and reward strategies: We will explore effective methods for businesses to recognize and reward women who significantly contribute to workplace well-being and inclusion. Introducing recognition programs and leadership tracks that value these contributions can change the corporate culture markedly.

4. Combating gender and racial biases: This part of the webinar addresses the unique challenges faced by women of color in leadership, including being underappreciated and encountering bias. We will suggest actionable strategies for cultivating a supportive workplace culture that combats biases and fosters allyship programs to support diversity.

5. Creating effective pathways for advancement: Our final discussion will focus on organizational strategies that help women not only attain leadership roles but also excel in them. These strategies include setting clear promotion criteria, implementing flexible work policies, and enforcing rules against discriminatory behavior.

This webinar is more than just a discussion—it’s a robust call to action for leaders in the tech industry to create a supportive, equitable environment where women have every opportunity to succeed and lead.
