  • Navigating the Tech Landscape: Empowering Women, Advancing Careers

    Navigating the Tech Landscape: Empowering Women, Advancing Careers
    2025/07/14
    This is your Women in Business podcast.

    Welcome to Women in Business, the podcast where we spotlight trailblazing women shaping the future of work. Today, I want to dive straight into the real issues and opportunities facing women navigating the ever-evolving tech industry in today’s economic landscape.

    Right now, women comprise about 35 percent of the U.S. tech workforce, which is a notable jump from just 9 percent in the early 2000s. While that sounds like progress, the reality on the ground is more complex. At tech giants like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Apple, women are still in the minority, especially in leadership roles. For example, only about 29 percent of leadership positions at Amazon are held by women, with even lower representation at other major firms. The percentage drops further in technical roles, where women occupy less than a quarter of the positions.

    The numbers tell us something crucial: although we’re seeing more women enter the pipeline, that pipeline narrows sharply as you advance toward executive ranks. According to research from the WomenTech Network, women face persistent gender bias, limited access to mentorship, and a serious lack of transparency around promotions. Seventy-two percent of women in tech report gender bias affecting their promotion prospects, and more than half have dealt with discrimination or harassment that hindered their career progression.

    All of this is happening at a time of major economic flux. Layoffs have swept through the tech sector, and research shows they have disproportionately affected women. The pandemic highlighted the benefits of remote work—an advantage for many women balancing work and family—but it also brought significant burnout and even a decline in women’s participation in tech for a time.

    Let’s talk about pay and opportunity. There are bright spots: cities like San Jose offer record earnings for women in tech, but it’s emerging metros such as Columbia, South Carolina, and Little Rock, Arkansas that are seeing some of the fastest wage growth and increased representation. This tells us that opportunity is no longer confined to Silicon Valley or the big coastal hubs. Women looking to launch or advance their tech careers have more options than ever, if they know where to look.

    One of the most powerful tools at our disposal is community. Studies emphasize the importance of mentorship and having a network of women who will mention your name in rooms full of opportunity. It’s more than career advice—it’s career lifeblood. Yet, 58 percent of women in tech say they don’t have equal access to the networking that their male colleagues enjoy. That’s a gap we need to close, and it starts with intentional, inclusive networking and sponsorship.

    So, as we look to the future, let’s focus on five essential discussion points: how women can leverage new remote and hybrid work models, strategies to overcome persistent biases and lack of transparency in promotions, navigating layoffs and economic volatility, capitalizing on new hotspots for tech careers beyond traditional cities, and finally, building networks that empower and elevate women at every level.

  • Tech's Uneven Landscape: Navigating the Future for Women in STEM

    Tech's Uneven Landscape: Navigating the Future for Women in STEM
    2025/07/13
    This is your Women in Business podcast.

    Welcome to Women in Business, where we dive deep into the stories, strategies, and statistics shaping today's landscape for women trailblazers. Today, I’m tackling a topic that’s both urgent and inspiring—how women are navigating the economic landscape in the tech industry right now.

    It’s 2025, and according to the Women in Tech Network, women now make up 35 percent of employees in STEM fields across the US. That’s a meaningful jump from a decade ago, but we’re still a long way from real parity. Major players like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft are reporting between 33 and 45 percent female workforce participation, but across the board, less than one third of tech jobs are filled by women. And if we focus on key technical roles—think software developers or data scientists—the numbers drop even further, with just over 20 percent of software developer roles held by women. So, why does it matter? Because tech is shaping every aspect of the economy, and women deserve a seat at every table where decisions are made.

    Our first discussion point is leadership. Despite the steady progress, the glass ceiling in tech is stubbornly thick. In 2025, only about a quarter of tech leadership roles are filled by women, and when you look at CEO or CTO positions, that drops even lower. Less than one in five tech companies have a woman at the helm, which means young women in the field have fewer role models and champions at the very top. According to the WomenTech Network, the path to promotion is still riddled with disparities—every 100 men promoted to manager, only 87 women, and just 82 women of color, get the nod. This creates a trickle-up problem for representation in higher leadership, so closing that gap is critical.

    Shifting to our second point, mentorship and networking. Access to mentors and strong networks is one of the most cited barriers for women aiming higher in tech. The Women in Tech: Barriers to Leadership Survey revealed that 58 percent of women reported they don’t have the same access to networking as their male peers. Mentorship, as shown by programs like ADVANCE and STEM Like A Girl, can change career trajectories. When women support each other, whether through formal programs or simply mentioning each other's names in rooms of opportunity, doors open.

    For our third discussion, we can’t ignore the impact of recent economic headwinds—think layoffs, hiring freezes, and remote work shifts. Events like the COVID-19 pandemic hit women in tech especially hard. Women experienced higher burnout and, for a period, even saw their representation in tech drop. But on the other hand, remote work has created new opportunities for flexibility, which is critical for women balancing career and family. Companies that keep flexible work policies post-pandemic are more likely to attract and retain top female talent.

    Geography is our fourth point. The best places for women in tech are no longer limited to Silicon Valley. According to CoworkingCafe, metros in the American South, like Little Rock and Columbia, South Carolina, are emerging as leaders in wage growth and representation, sometimes outpacing longstanding tech giants. This means the landscape is evolving, and opportunity might be closer than you think.

    And finally, let’s talk about the future pipeline. Early education and exposure make all the difference. The National Center for Women & Information Technology points out that encouraging girls to explore tech from an early age can set them on a path toward high-growth careers. Programs that build confidence and spark curiosity are investing directly in tomorrow’s women tech leaders.

  • Cracking the Code: Women Reboot Tech in 2025

    Cracking the Code: Women Reboot Tech in 2025
    2025/07/12
    This is your Women in Business podcast.

    Welcome to Women in Business. Today, we’re tackling how women are navigating the ever-shifting economic landscape, with a laser focus on the tech industry. It’s 2025, and women are writing their own stories in tech, but the journey remains far from smooth. Let’s dive deep and get real about where women stand, the challenges faced, and the bright opportunities on the horizon.

    Across the United States, women now hold about 35 percent of jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math. That’s a leap from just 9 percent in the early 2000s, but when you look at major companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft, the numbers vary—Amazon leads with 45 percent female employees, while others like Microsoft hover around 33 percent. And it’s not just about getting in the door; leadership is another hurdle entirely. At Google, for instance, only about 28 percent of leadership roles are held by women, and across the industry, women rarely make up more than a quarter of technical positions.

    One reason for this lag is the persistent gap in STEM education. According to the National Science Foundation, only about 21 percent of computer science degrees go to women, and the numbers are even lower for women of color. These educational disparities feed directly into the workforce, making it harder for women to catch up when it comes to promotions and leadership roles—imagine, for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 87 women overall get the same opportunity, and the gap widens for women of color.

    But that’s not the whole story. Women in tech also face internal challenges like imposter syndrome, affecting as many as 85 percent, according to Women in Tech Network’s Barriers to Leadership Survey. Add to that a lack of transparent promotion processes and limited access to crucial networking opportunities, and it’s easy to see why the glass ceiling still feels unbreakable for many talented women. In fact, 72 percent report experiencing gender bias affecting their leadership chances, while 56 percent have faced discrimination or harassment holding them back.

    Yet, even with these obstacles, women are chipping away at the old boys’ club that is the tech industry. Newer tech hubs like Little Rock, Arkansas, and Columbia, South Carolina, are making real strides, sometimes outpacing even Silicon Valley in wage growth and representation. These shifting dynamics show how location, company culture, and community support can make all the difference for women aiming high in tech.

    So, for this episode, here are five powerful points to fuel our discussion. First, progress and pitfalls in workforce representation—where women are showing up, and where the doors remain closed. Second, the STEM education gap and how early exposure sets the tone for future leadership. Third, internal and external challenges unique to women, from imposter syndrome to systemic bias. Fourth, the emerging hotspots and game-changing cities that empower women to lead in tech. And finally, we’ll explore the unique value women bring to tech and how mentorship, community, and policy changes can be the rocket fuel for true gender equity.
