Pratima Rao Gluckman, Engineering Leader, VMware sits down with Lisa Martin at Women Transforming Technology 2018 in Palo Alto, CA. #WT2SV #theCUBE @SiliconANGLE theCUBE https://siliconangle.com/2018/06/01/stanford-and-vmware-invest-15-million-to-fight-techs-gender-bias-problem-wt2sv/ Joining forces to continue the conversation As more organizations recognize the need for change, women are being increasingly validated in their calls for action in the industry. “Things are getting accelerated and amplified because voices are being used and heard. … There’s a movement. Women are coming together,” Sutter said. With the pace of innovation in the industry enabling exponential growth of new enterprises, Correll advises burgeoning businesses to start from a place of inclusion. “If you get to 10 employees with no women, you’re already behind the curve,” she said. Attention to biases against women is a positive step for tech, but it’s only the first step to creating a more inclusive industry for all marginalized groups. “They’re biases about gender, but also about parenthood, race, ethnicity, sexuality. … We’re probably going to need to have different kinds of solutions as well,” Correll stated. While there is still much work to be done, the momentum behind tech’s equality movement provides a promising look at what’s to come. “The key is continuing to join forces … and continue the conversations to … create those platforms,” Sutter concluded.
