Women in leadership positions

The past few years have made a huge difference in terms of empowering women and unlocking their potential within organisations. Major events and conferences have spotlighted the role of women in technology and paved the way for them to achieve their goals. Diversity fuels an inclusive culture by bringing in many perspectives and ideas, challenging our assumptions, and inspiring innovation.

The Women’s Leadership community is a thriving global network of women from across Red Hat. As part of the programme, community members come together to share ideas, engage in discussions, and attend leadership and educational events.

My dream workplace has women in leadership positions, and they are encouraged to share and implement their ideas. When this is realised, it empowers people from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences to come together to share ideas, challenge the status quo, and drive innovation.

Supporting students worldwide with open-source technologies and skills that will enable them to secure great job opportunities when they graduate brings me a lot of satisfaction. The programme introduces students to the principles of open source and inspires them to bring the power of collaboration to their own communities. Being connected to the younger generation and working with a diverse range of people brings something new to the table every day.

One challenge is attempting to change the university curriculum. This process could be lengthy, especially in places where we need to obtain approvals.

It is a challenge to maintain a work-life balance at times. I have two wonderful kids that I have to take care of while having a full-time job. The support of my family and Red Hat’s flexibility certainly makes it easier.
