"These questions were central to a recent roundtable discussion that we hosted together with Visma. There seems to be a growing awareness that diversity in teams is more than just a moral goal. It demonstrably leads to better performance and innovation. Companies with inclusive teams can leverage new perspectives and innovate more quickly. The key question, therefore, is how organizations can attract women and enable them to grow sustainably toward leadership positions."
"A striking aspect that emerged during the roundtable discussion is that a career in tech is not always the result of a conscious plan. Cindy Wubben, CISO at Visma, recalls how she ended up in information security while working at Fortis bank. At the time, cybersecurity was seen as a temporary project. What started as a defined assignment quickly grew into a full-fledged career."
Technology plays an increasingly central societal role while women remain underrepresented in technical positions. Opportunities materialize when talent, passion, and perseverance converge, and diverse teams deliver better performance and faster innovation. Sustainable advancement of women requires interventions across education, mentoring, culture, and leadership, plus structural, continuous policy choices. Careers in tech often begin by chance and are sustained by the field's intrinsic appeal, as illustrated by a path from a temporary cybersecurity assignment to a full career. Inclusive workplaces must create clear pathways and supportive conditions so talent can grow into leadership.
