Each session had a diverse group of panelists from a range of organisations who spoke to their own experiences as well as the things they would like to see change.
Speaking about the event, Jeanette Calandra who is Global TMT Advisory Leader at PwC said: "The Female Quotient is committed to curating experiences, thought leadership, and solutions to achieve gender equality in the workplace and beyond and those values align with ours at PwC where we aim to build trust in society and solve important problems. Coming together with leaders from other leading technology organizations who share a similar commitment to closing the gender gap and fostering more inclusivity is something we're very proud of”.
