Technology ranks among the bottom sectors in terms of gender diversity. Yet the research team of the world's top investment bank Morgan Stanley found that tech firms that make an effort to increase the number of women, particularly in corporate settings, could generate significantly better returns than their more male-dominated competitors.
"Our company has a long history of supporting women to take on leadership roles," Christianson said. "Last year, we launched a project to create and support female role models in the technology industry. It serves as a platform to bring both industry and mentors together so the aspiring female technologists can better understand that they can also be successful leaders in tech."
The project has helped almost 200 female employees find their place in the high-tech world.
