Reflections on International Women’s Day

The representation of women in the tech and product sectors remains significantly lower compared to men, with women making up only 19% of the tech industry and 37% of UX and product roles. This gender disparity is significant in a field that thrives on diverse perspectives to drive innovation and create inclusive products. In celebration of International Women's Day, various female professionals in tech share their experiences, emphasizing the critical role of mentorship in career development and the importance of being data-driven to make informed decisions. They highlight the value of diverse viewpoints in product management and offer career advice to aspiring women in tech, encouraging them to harness their unique strengths and pursue their passions. These insights underscore the ongoing need to enhance female representation in tech, not only to achieve gender equality but also to ensure the development of products that cater to a broad spectrum of users.
