Looking Back on Our First Women Leaders in Technology Event
- Cloudera recently launched its Women Leaders in Technology (WLIT) initiative, aimed at connecting women and allies in tech leadership roles to help women enter and thrive in the tech industry.
- During the EVOLVE New York event, the WLIT group participated in a panel discussion about the challenges facing women leaders and how to overcome them.
- Some of the key takeaways from the discussion included starting early in a STEAM field, finding a mentor to help grow your career, and not putting limits on what you're capable of achieving.
- According to Forbes Reporter Zoya Hasan, women in technology should not be viewed as a statistic, but rather people in technology who happen to be women.
- The WLIT program aims to create a forum for women and girls to demonstrate that it is possible to succeed and thrive in the tech industry, and to promote networking opportunities and insight into fostering a stronger, more diverse workforce.
- The initiative goes beyond Cloudera's Womens+ ERG efforts to cultivate an inclusive environment that supports women's skills and leadership potential through mentoring, collaboration, recruiting, and retention.
- Cloudera's WLIT group seeks to connect, inspire, and elevate women leaders both internally and across different industry sectors.
- Overall, the WLIT initiative seeks to provide insight into policies and programs that can help foster diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
- Cloudera encourages women interested in its WLIT program to join its LinkedIn group and learn more about the initiative.
- This event marks the first in a series of events Cloudera will be hosting as part of its WLIT initiative.
