We’re all aware of the challenges that women face while working in the tech sector. But many of us are less aware of the difference our daily actions can make for women in the industry.
Women in male-dominated industries are often more likely to seek out mentorship and coaching, have different employee benefits that appeal to them, and have a strong appreciation of professional development opportunities. When we take these things into consideration, it becomes clear that we all have an opportunity to help women succeed in tech.
In this episode of B2B Nation, we explore the experiences of women in the technology industry with Jamie Porter, senior director of marketing at MNJ Technologies. We’ll discuss Jamie’s experience in the tech sector and how she works to help other women achieve success as well.
