Leadership

"Be you. If you’re anything other than authentic in a leadership role, you won’t bring people along with you"

Despite the continued debate on gender disparity in the past decade, the percentage of women employed in tech in the UK has barely moved from 15.7% in 2009 to 17% today.

IT has gone from being seen as a male domain, to a valid career path for women. Change is coming, but it's slow, says Stacey Wills of Unilever

Women are still underrepresented in tech, and it's time for that to change

"We need to choose a career in sync with our nature"

Much like my dad, I've always been a nerd. He was a programmer in the 90s, so I had an early introduction to computers; when I was about 5 years old, he came home from work with a tired old Windows 3.1 PC, and I was enthralled.

When I joined visual storytelling technology company, disguise, I wanted to "make my mark" by helping disguise redefine its brand and marketing approach.

I've always wondered why more women aren't interested in a career in technology, because I've always found it inspiring, exciting, and rewarding.

Unilever have made great progress in terms of gender representation, achieving 50:50 gender balance split in management in 2020 compared to only 38% women in management 10 years ago.
