International Women’s Day: Writing Tomorrow’s History Books Today
From trailblazers in science and technology, to leaders in politics and business, to activists fighting for equality and justice, women have played an unmistakable part in shaping our world.
As we celebrate International Women's Day on March 8, it is important to reflect on the incredible contributions women have made throughout history and continue to make today.
From my perspective, women have amazing opportunities to keep making big marks on history!
The paths ahead of us are filled with purpose. The world needs women with technical skills and the right mix of interpersonal, project management, and critical thinking skills—across geography and business sectors—to meet that purpose.
Health tech, green tech, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data science are a few examples that come to mind. There are many opportunities for women to make a big splash in their initial careers, second careers, or with new technology skills and certifications.
