When Gavriella Schuster entered the tech industry back in 1991, 36% of the computing workforce was made up of women. In 2019, that number dropped to 27%.
“It’s going in the wrong direction,” Schuster said. “And it’s really about to get much worse.”
Schuster was a featured speaker Thursday at an annual Summit hosted by Women in Cloud, a Seattle-area economic development initiative that aims to help boost the number of female leaders in the tech industry.
