5 female pioneers and leaders in SaaS that you can't lose sight of

[chandon]

While companies in other industries continue to make giant strides towards gender equality in their corporate culture, in the tech world, this idea doesn’t go much further than just lip service. There’s still a lot of ground to cover to close the gender gap in the industry, especially when it comes to women in leadership positions in the tech field.

If you read the TrustRadius 2021 Women in bulk sms kuwait Tech Report, you might be surprised (or not) by the obstacles a woman has to face in this field, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

In work meetings, the majority of women working in tech (72%) are often outnumbered by men by at least two to one. 26% of women say this difference is five to one or more. 78%

of women in this field feel they have to work harder than their male colleagues to prove themselves.



37% of women of color believe that racial discrimination is a barrier to advancement in technology.

Many factors are cited as responsible for these unsurprising numbers, the most obvious being the disconnect between words (corporate policy, gender diversity, inclusion initiatives, etc.) and actions (unethical behavior, unequal corporate or hiring practices, etc.).

The purpose of this post is not to delve into these issues. We prefer to see the glass half full and celebrate these small, great successes: the few brave women who, against all odds, have managed to reach leadership positions in SaaS.
