You can't be what you can't see - the importance of having female role models in tech

Seeing is believing! 

Studies have shown that having role models within STEM is an incredibly effective way to encourage women into the sector; inspire them to be more ambitious; and show them what is possible.

But with a lack of female representation in tech, where can women and girls find role models? And how do we encourage those already in the sector to share their stories?

To discuss this and more, we’re joined by Sue-Ellen Wright, Managing Director of Aerospace, Sopra Steria. 

In a career spanning more than thirty years, Sue-Ellen has worked alongside international clients to deliver IT & BPO services to carry transformation programmes across several sectors. She has been with Sopra Steria for 6 years and became Managing Director of Aerospace Defence and Security in January 2020. She also plays a number of additional key roles across the organisation including being a keen supporter engaging in Sopra Steria’s Women in Leadership programme.

SheCanCode is a collaborative community of women in tech working together to tackle the tech gender gap.
