?? Women in tech are breaking barriers daily, but the journey is still far from fair.??? Talent Acquisition leaders are eager to take action, but companies must go beyond lip service and make authentic investments in programs to hire and elevate women in tech. The data clearly shows the imbalance in opportunity; I’ve seen it firsthand for over 25 years in this industry. As a father of three daughters—two of whom are entering STEM fields—I’m driven to see change. ?? It’s troubling to see that support is dwindling. This year alone, organizations like Women Who Code and Girls Who Tech were forced to shut down due to funding cuts, and AnitaB.org (Grace Hopper) announced significant layoffs. The funding to support these efforts previously came from tech companies who claimed to want to make a difference. ??♂? The passion is there. The talent is there. TA leaders are ready to champion this cause. But will companies step up? Now is the time to prove it. Let's ensure women in tech don't just survive—let's ensure they are provided the opportunity to thrive. ?? #WomenInTech #WomenImpactTech #DiversityInTech
