Персонал DSTL вошел в число 50 лучших женщин-лидеров в сфере технологий
В этом году награды Inspiring Fifty UK были объявлены сегодня организаторами accelerateHER в начале London Tech Week 2021.
Ежегодные награды присуждаются женщинам, преобразующим технологическую отрасль, и Dstl с гордостью сообщает, что Линда Кнутсен, глава ее исследовательского подразделения, включена в список 50 новаторских женщин-лидеров.
Среди выступавших на мероприятии была Хиллари Родэм Клинтон, бывший госсекретарь США, которая приняла участие в панельной дискуссии «Беседа о лидерстве».
Линда добавила:
Inspiring Fifty UK 21 - это инициатива, посвященная женщинам, которые руководят технологической индустрией Великобритании . Эти женщины являются образцами для подражания, на которые можно положиться благодаря инициативе, которая делает их более заметными и узнаваемыми, а также помогает увеличить разнообразие в области технологий. Линда говорит, что женщины должны искать возможности, а не ждать их появления.
