As we gear up to celebrate International Women's Day this year, Templeton and Partners reaffirms its commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion, particularly in the realm of technology. In line with this year's theme of #InspiringInclusion, we take a moment to reflect on the remarkable contributions of women in the tech industry and the strides we continue to make towards a more inclusive future.
Despite progress over the years, the technology sector still grapples with gender disparities. Women remain underrepresented in technical roles, leadership positions, and boardrooms across the industry. However, at Templeton and Partners, we recognise the invaluable insights, talents, and perspectives that women bring to the table, and we are dedicated to creating an environment where they can thrive.
In the spirit of International Women's Day, we celebrate the trailblazing women who have paved the way for future generations in tech. From Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer, to pioneers like Grace Hopper, who revolutionised programming languages, women have played instrumental roles in shaping the technological landscape we know today.
At Templeton and Partners, we are proud to champion women in tech through various initiatives and programs aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion. From mentorship programs to networking events, we provide platforms for women to connect, learn, and grow professionally. We also actively seek out opportunities to partner with organisations that share our commitment to gender equality in the workplace.
Our upcoming webinar on 27th March will explore the journeys of Pravina Ladva (Chief Digital & Technology Officer at Swiss Re) and Kay Firth-Butterfield (CEO of Good Tech Advisory)
In addition to internal efforts, we recognise the importance of supporting women-led initiatives and organisations dedicated to advancing women in technology. Whether it's through sponsorship, advocacy, or collaboration, we strive to amplify the voices of women in tech and provide them with the resources they need to succeed.
Take a look at our two-part series to explore ways to inspire inclusion in the workplace.

As we celebrate International Women's Day and the #InspiringInclusion movement, we encourage everyone to join us in championing diversity and equality in the tech industry. By fostering a culture of inclusion, we not only empower women to pursue their passions and achieve their full potential but also drive innovation and create a better future for all.
Together, let's continue to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and build a more inclusive tech community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Happy International Women's Day from Templeton and Partners!
