Why we do this

Research shows that diverse teams are smarter and achieve better results.
If this is a known fact then why are many teams, specifically in IT, still not as diverse as they could be?

We are here to change that.

Through our team of self-made women we empower each other. We support women to get the most out of themselves so they can establish a healthy work-life balance and experience more freedom. Because we do this, companies get better performing teams.

So it’s quite simple:
When women win, everybody does.

we celebrate diversity in it

Women are often underrepresented in teams working in IT. We believe the problem is that diversity is considered to be important, but not urgent. We’re here to put diversity higher on this priority list.

we believe in role models

We managed to find women around us who we look up to. We need this, and we believe that every woman needs this. They can help get more out of yourself, but also provide you with a new dose of energy to take on something new.

we take a personal approach

Only if you really get to know somebody, you discover what he/she likes and can do best. We think the ‘getting to know you stage’ is way more important than looking at a CV. Experience taught us that this approach leads to a better fit of people in teams. And a better fit leads to better results.
