The tech industry is still largely dominated by men – but there are more and more fighting for greater diversity and inclusion in the sector.

There are a number of initiatives championing women in tech, networking groups, women’s events and awards all trying to address the lack of women in tech.

But why should we care? And what can women do to champion each other?

To answer this, we hear from Mary Shea, Global Innovation Evangelist at Outreach. 

At Outreach, Mary leads the team producing thought-provoking research examining the sales technology landscape. Outreach’s in-house research team explores everything from the future of buying and selling to the criticality of having diverse, equitable, and inclusive B2B sales organizations. This work fuels and informs their product, platform, and people by uncovering new trends and innovative ways of thinking.

Mary also empowers diverse talent within the company by co-creating the RISE and RISE UP programs to uplift women in sales and elevate rising Black leaders.

Mary talks to us about the importance of lifting while you climb, paying it forward, how businesses can improve their diversity.

SheCanCode is a collaborative community of women in tech working together to tackle the tech gender gap.
