In my previous experiences, I have seen a notable lack in female leadership representation, especially in the higher chairing places of the organizations. People tend to withdraw their opinions when it comes to choosing a women in leadership position thinking, will she be able to handle this.
This should change. All the companies in tech should ensure women representation in the higher positions. Their achievements are to be appreciated which will be a great inspiration to many girls.

Without clear goals, diversity initiatives often lose momentum. Establishing measurable targets for gender diversity at the leadership level helps companies stay accountable and focused.

Leadership Diversity Benchmarks: Organizations can analyze their current leadership demographics and set realistic yet ambitious goals to improve representation. For example, aiming for a certain percentage of women in managerial or C-suite roles within a specified timeframe.
Internal Talent Mapping: Conducting regular reviews of the talent pipeline can help identify high-potential women within the organization and create development programs to prepare them for leadership roles.
Public Commitments: By publicly committing to diversity goals—such as pledging to have a certain percentage of leadership roles filled by women—companies demonstrate transparency and accountability, which can attract more diverse talent.

Breaking the glass ceiling for women in tech leadership isn’t just an ethical priority—it’s a business imperative. Companies that fail to adapt risk losing out on innovation, talent, and market relevance.

Here’s what’s needed:

Courageous Leadership: Leaders must champion diversity at every level, setting the tone for an inclusive culture.
Data Transparency: Organizations must track, measure, and share their progress on gender diversity to drive accountability.
Sustained Effort: Inclusion isn’t a one-time initiative. It requires continuous investment in policies, training, and technology.
By adopting inclusive hiring practices that actively target gender diversity, companies can build stronger teams, deliver better results, and contribute to a more equitable tech industry. Let’s move from intention to action and shatter the barriers holding women back—because when women lead, we all win.

When companies commit to inclusive hiring practices, the impact extends far beyond the workplace. Women in leadership roles inspire the next generation of talent and drive systemic change.

Take Microsoft as an example. By implementing mentorship programs, revamping job descriptions, and setting gender parity goals, the company saw a 10% increase in women in leadership roles over five years. This not only bolstered innovation but also solidified Microsoft’s reputation as an industry leader in diversity and inclusion.
