June 04, 2024 Phoebe Chalmers: The Magenta Project & Mentorship
Approximately 29% - That is the percentage of women working in STEM industry, a figure that still seems far too low given the benefits of gender diversity in the workplace, particularly around innovation and creativity.

Continuing to look at the significance of the inaugural Women's America's Cup, this episode features the young sailor and engineer, Phoebe Chalmers. Mentored by Helena Scutt in the The Magenta Project Mentorship Program, Phoebe is not only making waves as a member of the Magenta Foiling Team but also as an aspiring engineer. Phoebe's story highlights the importance and value of mentorship for young women in the workplace, and also shows how increasing female representation at the America's Cup, will surely increase the number of women working on the design and engineering side of future America's Cup teams.

May 27, 2024 The Magenta Project: Meg Reilly
This October will be a historical moment for Women in Sailing when twelve teams compete for the inaugural Women's America's Cup Trophy. Touted as a key step for women's sailing and the sport progressing towards gender equality at the professional level, if the desired outcome is achieved, only time will tell. However, while considered the pinnacle of the sport, the America's Cup is only one aspect of professional sailing and as a whole, the sport of sailing still has a long way to go with many hurdles to overcome on it's path to greater gender equality, access, and diversity. Working behind the scenes and leading the way is the Magenta Project, a global charity created to build a sustainable network and programme to ensure more equity and inclusion for women in our sport. This episode we speak with Magenta Project Chief Coordination and Engagement Officer, Meg Reilly.
