International Women’s Day 2023
Women in Innovation Award
There is no better way to commemorate International Women's Day than to celebrate the woman who leads us at SCALED, our founder and CEO, Natalie Kerres. This time, she has been awarded the prestigious
To recognise 50 pioneering women who are redefining, reshaping and creating a positive impact in our world through innovation, this prestigious award comes with a £50,000 grant! We are so excited, proud and grateful for what this will mean for SCALED, and above all what it means for women.
In itself, this is an enormous achievement but to contextualise it further (in light of International Woman’s Day) here are recorded statistics that we all should know:
Women only make up 28% of the STEM workforce and only 10.2% of tech company CEOs.
These numbers appear even bleaker when you realise that it’s the best it’s been as women's representation in the STEM workforce only began 50 years ago. We’re proud to say that Team SCALED, however, is made up of 66% women.
We strongly believe in advocating, supporting and creating equal opportunity for all genders, especially in the tech industry, STEM spaces and business.
So it goes without saying why days like this are a moment to pause, reflect on history and interrogate our current norms. Above all, it highlights the importance of why we need to recognise all the women who keep defying statistics and breaking boundaries (just like Natalie).
