Tech Lead at Picnic

Getting More Women Into Tech Leadership Roles at Picnic (And Beyond)

Picnic, as a former Netherlands-only start-up and current international scale-up, has seen immense growth in the last years, and now has over 200 developers. In that time, the way Picnic has promoted people into leadership positions has been mostly ad-hoc, on a team-by-team basis with a minimally structured process. In the middle of 2021, despite a gender balance within the tech team overall being at the industry average, the share of women in tech leadership positions was a lot lower.

Diverse Teams Make Inclusive Products

Our backgrounds, perspectives and personal experiences greatly inform how we shape products. Building diverse product teams is the foundation to ensuring we don't unintentionally exclude a portion of our user base, yet most tech products are still built by a very narrow representation of our global population. This session will cover how a multi-pronged approach to creating diverse teams, developing inclusive practices in company culture and in the product development process can result in experiences that support more of our users, most of the time."

Can we do AI? or Bringing Advanced Analytics into Large Organizations

According to multiple surveys, the situation with AI adoption in the enterprise world did not move much since 2020. What are the barriers to adoption and how can we change it for our organizations?

Lessons learned from Mars and Moon Exploration: diversity, inclusion and gender balance

The number of female students enrolled STEM have been decreasing in the last twenty years, while the number of women resigning from technological job positions remains unacceptably high. New multi-factor approaches are being suggested to fight this trend, such as promoting interaction with professional women working in STEM environments and increasing the visibility of female role models. The NASA Mars Science Laboratory rover mission operation, with its flat and rotating working structure, is a practical case where some of these factors are already in place.
