Why is it important to master your mindset as a woman in tech? Despite decades of progress toward equality in the tech industry women continue to remain underrepresented in the tech industry. The stats are driven by a lack of visibility to career prospects, role models, and early engagement of girls in STEM subjects. Of the 20% of women who make it into the tech industry only 5% are able to progress into leadership. It is clear from the prevalent research and statistics that progressing as a woman in the tech industry can be a challenging uphill climb where only the strong survive! Grit and determination, while good qualities to possess, are in themselves not enough to equip women with the tools needed to thrive and overcome career-defining challenges.

In this episode, our guest speaker Catherine Gull delivers a talk to the SheLeads in Tech Network and AltHAN Co Women's forum about Driving Industrial Innovation Through Private Networks. Private networks are dedicated communications networks for enterprises, communities or new classes of managed services providers. They are an increasingly important – yet complicated – area of the mobile industry. New use cases around IoT are accelerating the development and adoption of this system which will become more significant for utilities in future. A combination of new spectrum allocations, notably in 5G, networks, and increased flexibility in radio and core are opening more opportunities for the adoption of this system. Catherine has built an extensive career in the Telecommunications industry over 30 years; she will also be sharing how she has built skills and competencies to thrive in a male-dominated industry.
Sheleads Episode 13: The Evolution of Telecommunications "A lack of female role models is also reinforcing the perception that a technology career isn’t for them.
