Background
In 2023, women held only about 24% of tech leadership roles across industries, a significant indicator of the challenges and shifts the tech landscape faces.
This year was not only characterized by key leadership transitions but also by the industry-agnostic impact of emerging technologies and shifting workforce dynamics. The rise of generative AI, emerged as a major technological breakthrough, redefining possibilities across various sectors. However, this rapid advancement also brought to light the underrepresentation of women in AI development, a gap that global leaders like Melinda Gates have emphasized needs urgent addressing.
