Women In Technology

• United Kingdom
• Staffing and Recruiting

• Managing Director

  • Mar 2005 - Nov 2012

  I managed womenintechnology.co.uk, an on-line job board and networking group for women working in the IT profession in the UK. We launched the website in March 2005 and Women in Technology subsequently developed into a high profile job board and networking forum organisations used to attract more female talent. We built up an active network of 7,000 technology professionals (backed up by a larger network of nearly 13,700 female technologists) committed to promoting women in IT in both the public and private sectors. We organised regular networking events which I believe play a vital part in attracting (and retaining) women in the IT profession. These ranged from formal debates with guest speakers and interactive audience discussion to informal drinks evenings where people can get together in a non-work environment.
