Imagine you’re the founder of a tech startup with an all-male team. And you wonder if you’re ready to make the pivotal shift towards diversity, equity, and inclusion. Where do you start? 

Spoiler: the DEI journey does not start with hiring a woman or a person of color. 

So, what should you do at the start of your journey into the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion? 

Listening to the podcast is a good start!

Championing DEI in Tech, Wisdom From a Frontrunner | Ingrid Tappin on Women Disrupting Tech – Women Disrupting Tech

An hour of DEI Magic

Ingrid Tappin gives you the answer in the 31st episode of Women Disrupting Tech. It’s a vibrant conversation about DEI with one of the DEI experts in the startup ecosystem. Ingrid and I talk about: 

  • How being an inclusive leader is a lot like being a parent,
  • The importance of building relationships and a network, and 
  • How to use KPIs to ensure that your DEI efforts are effective.

Oh, and did I mention the upcoming DEI in Tech Summit on 23 November? Well, we talk about that too.

In my podcast Women Disrupting Tech, I give a platform to the women who work in tech so they can be a role model for others. The goal is to promote more diversity, equity and inclusion in the tech sector. I believe that this will lead to better solutions to the three problems of our time: the climate crisis, exploding demand for healthcare services and poverty.
