Innovation Powered by Women

The elevation of women into the workforce since the industrial revolution has indeed proven to be a phenomenal game changer. But many would argue that the phenomenon took shape out happenstance.

Today, across decades, women account for 47.7% of the global workforce. 50.2% of the college-educated workforce are women. Yet, for the past 20 years, the number of women software engineers has increased by only 2%, and only 27.1% of women are managers and business leaders.

Nazeera Dawood, expresses the same in more of a direct tone. “Women as leaders in technology and solution-innovation should not be an interesting statistic or even a feel-good outcome. It should be a. target. A proven effective, albeit underutilized strategy for the benefit of business in general.” Dr. Dawood, Co-Founder and CEO of Vendorship, Inc. had just completed the first in a planned series of mentoring sessions along with a handful of other notable women executives. The mentors responded to program organizers at the metro Atlanta-based Innovation Academy in collaboration with the business co-op Tech Alpharetta.
