We all know that tech has a ‘women’ problem! Currently, women make up just 19% of the tech workforce in the UK. In the states, this figure stands marginally better at 26.7%.

Statistics for women in leadership roles within the industry also make for a depressing read. In the US, women in tech hold less that 28% of the leadership positions. According to a report from PwC, women in the UK make up only 5% of leadership positions.

So how exactly do we get more women into the industry? How do we encourage those already here into leadership positions? And what is it like to be a female leader in tech? 

In this episode, we pose these questions to one such female leader in tech – Linda Dotts.

Linda is Chief Partner Strategy Officer at SS&C Blue Prism. Alongside her role of being one of the drivers behind Blue Prism’s Technology Alliance, Linda has also contributed to Blue Prism’s culture of inclusion and empowerment by helping to found Women in RPA.
