EMPOWERING THE DATA-DRIVEN LEADERS OF TOMORROW
OUR MISSION
Data literacy is increasingly becoming a requirement for all business leaders. Every industry is becoming more data-driven, and as they do, effective leaders must become data literate.
Today, data literacy has a major inclusion problem. Women are 46% of the workforce, but hold only 26% of data and analytics jobs. Worse, representation steadily declines for more senior roles, and among technology firms, women represent just 17% of the C-Suite.
This imbalance, if left uncorrected, will have severe detriments into the future. It will deny key leadership roles to women and further deepen the unequal representation we see in many fields.
