We're proud our senior leadership team consists of 80% women and our board is majority women as well. But we shouldn't be an anomaly in the tech industry. Our CEO, Shivani Siroya, shares why it's so important to ensure diversity in decision-making roles. 👇
The Information's The Briefing recently highlighted the lack of women leadership in tech. I’m disheartened to see these stats because I know it doesn’t have to be this way. Like Jessica E. Lessin says, “Pushing away half the world’s population will weaken your businesses and your customer bases. You don’t have to lower your bar to attract female talent. But you do have to work harder.” This is a natural priority at Tala. Because of the nature of our work at and the markets we work in, diversity is a requirement to solve our problem successfully, but this needs to be second nature across the industry as well. We all must ensure diversity in decision-making roles. This requires persistence and a genuine commitment to change. It transcends mere compliance with quotas; it's about recognizing the potential of every person.
