[From L to R}: Tech women leaders Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Director IV Emmy Lou Versoza-Delfin, Eastern Communications Co-Coordinator Atty. Aileen Regio, and Wilcon Depot Inc. Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Rosemarie B. Ong, shaping the future of a more inclusive tech industry.
In an era of rapid technological advancement, women are challenging the status quo, redefining innovation, and promoting inclusivity in the industry. Their contributions, from research and development to leadership, demonstrate that women are essential drivers of technological progress and diversity.
According to a Boston Consulting Group study, only 35% of the tech workforce in the Philippines comprises women, despite having the highest number of women technology graduates in the Southeast Asia region (48%). The disparity of opportunity and gender-based discrimination in the workforce is still prevalent despite years of advancing the rights and welfare of women in a male-dominated sector—or perhaps in society.
Amidst the challenges, these three leading ladies are helping forge a path for future female innovators to make their mark in the technology landscape.
