Capgemini UK Head of Delivery, Rachel Greedy, is "absolutely passionate" about initiatives that recognise talented women across the world.
She speaks with Computing about the importance of diversity within the technology sector. Computing's Women in Tech campaign highlights the achievements and potential of women in the technology industry, who for too long have been overlooked or even passed over.
"It is all too easy to be really modest as women, and to overlook or not prioritise celebrating our fantastic achievements across the tech industry. These campaigns really benefit us as companies and individuals...in terms of attracting female talent."
Companies need to reflect the diverse populations they serve
"Like attracts like," explains Rachel. "When we have more women in senior or very technical roles in the IT industry, more women will come. They will recognise that that's perfectly normal for that company, and it definitely helps in terms of attracting more women. We need to work for companies that look, externally, like the kind of company that we can identify with."
