According to Tech Women Network, at the current pace it will take almost 132 years until the economic gender gap is closed. It is clear that something needs to change. We're reading '5 Lessons for and from Women in Tech' by Victoria Vince at The Fast Mode; which outlines five important lessons over the past two decades that helped her build her career with confidence, lead other women to find their place in the tech industry, and encourage leaders — of any gender — to create more inclusive workplaces.

On January 25, we will hold a She Is Tech Conference(https://lnkd.in/etA--p-9), a large-scale event for women in the tech industry. The goal of the conference is to foster gender balance for future tech evolution. For more than 10 hours, women from Europe and the USA will share their stories, experience, and motivation and exchange ideas. The conference will discuss how the percentage of women in tech companies can be increased and what employers can do about it. It will also focus on women’s leadership and careers, considering personal stories of female leaders and top managers about their own paths and obstacles. The third theme will be the role of communities in empowering women in the technology sector and beyond. https://bit.ly/3t8yYhx

Reflecting on the occasion of International Women's Day, I’m struck by the evolving landscape I’ve witnessed and been a part of during my nearly 30-year career in tech so far. Currently, a mere 17% of top cyber roles in Fortune 500 companies are held by women, and industry-wide, women occupy only 15%. This underrepresentation, particularly in upper cybersecurity echelons, is concerning, especially because girls draw inspiration from visible role models. For example, Gen Z girls are 20% more likely than boys to shy away from STEM careers, driven by a belief in their perceived inadequacy. At Zscaler, we’re committed to closing this gender gap. I am the executive sponsor of WIZE, our women-focused ERG, which engages 1000+ employees globally, fostering inclusion among women, girls, and allies. Additionally, we’ve established a dedicated program pairing high-potential women with executive sponsors to nurture their career growth. And in the UK, we've been named one of the Best Workplaces for Women. However, true progress toward gender equity in our industry demands sustained support for early-career women in tech, advocating for flexible work arrangements that consider familial responsibilities, ensuring equal pay, and implementing parental leave policies that provide meaningful support. This International Women’s Day, I invite you to join Zscaler, WIZE, our allies, and myself in championing the cause of inclusion for women of all ages, races, and backgrounds. https://lnkd.in/gcbKqs74 #InternationalWomensDay #InvestinWomen #InspireInclusion #WomenInTech #GenderEquity #TechInclusion Jay Chaudhry Remo Canessa Mike Rich Syam Nair Patrick Foxhoven Punit Minocha Praniti Lakhwara Joyce Kim Brendan Castle Robert Schlossman Steve McMahon Steven House Andy Brown
