Women have been behind some of the most groundbreaking advancements in science, technology, engineering and mathematics - so why aren’t there more in STEM fields today?

It’s a huge question with answers delving into workplace culture, inspiring future generations, and allyship. 

To break down the steps to creating a more equitable STEM sector, we sit down with Global Head of DEI Rachel Collins, and COO Buddy Bayer, to explore historical biases, the challenges women face today, and how we break though those barriers.

In this episode:

  • Long-standing stereotypes and systemic challenges that have prevented women from entering and advancing in STEM fields

  • The critical role of allyship in driving meaningful change

  • How emerging technologies like AI, quantum computing, and startup ecosystems are creating new opportunities for women to excel in STEM careers

  • Inclusive leadership, how leaders can create career paths that celebrate individual talents regardless of gender
