How many Tech CEOs do you know both locally and internationally? Ok lets not talk about managerial positions as that maybe too high up, so how many women do you know really making use of technology to improve and expand their businesses or trying to run a tech startup? In my case I know only a hand full and what even makes mine interesting is that I get to speak and train many of them often and one thing I can say for sure is that a lot of women have not stepped into the Tech game just yet and I wonder why. Maybe my guest this week knows, so I going to ask her why???
In this week’s edition of the ICT Radio Show, we would be looking at possible ways we can change that and encourage more women into this very fast-moving world of ICT.
Tune in by 1.30PM on Tuesday as we take a look at the topic; “Encouraging more women to tap into the Technology Boom”
