Women have so much to offer in the IT space. Nevertheless, the industry’s leadership is dominated by white men, making diverse culture a seemingly impossible goal. Asmita Puri explores how to change this with Nichele Dudley of VGS. Nichele shares her journey from Apple Genuis to Director of IT, opening her eyes to the important role of women in the IT industry. She explains how the DEI conversation must not be treated as a checklist but an actionable mission, pushing C-suite leaders to do something to create better workplace cultures. Nichele also discusses why people must not be treated akin to plug-and-play technology and how to make IT leadership opportunities more accessible to everyone.
