🤝 Happy International Women's Day to ALL amazing women in my network! This morning, we came together at the #Microsoft office in The Netherlands to celebrate International Women's Day 2024, with some of the most brave, smart and caring people within our investor, partner and customer’s ecosystem. We are so grateful for your participation in this year’s event ‘Investing in Women: accelerate progress’!   After the opening reflections of our CEO, Anke den Ouden, recognizing the crucial role that women play in driving innovation, economic growth and social change, we were delighted and inspired by the incredible speaker and innovation leader Enaam Ahmed Ali about the importance of leading organizations, teams and society, towards shifting the conversations (and actions) from inclusion to belonging, from power to responsibility and from one angle view to a full narrative.   We closed off with an insightful conversation with a panel of leaders from our tech industry - Andy Lurling, Lisa Dillon, Mirjam van Olst and Naomi Smit - who shared their personal stories and experiences on various topics that resonates with me as a #womenintech. Herewith a few take aways: 🔝 The impact of role models in early days of your being: ‘You cannot be, what you cannot see”. 🔝 The responsibility organizations should take to create a psychological safety environment for all employees to be able to be their authentic selves: ‘Come as you are, because others are taken”. 🔝 The importance of seeing and acknowledging people beyond gender, ethnical background, age, disabilities: “Lead with optimism and empathy”. 🔝 The courage it takes to speak out, to ask for help, to take a chance, to step out of your comfort zone, breaking barriers and building bridges. “Having self confidence is not a given, but it can be practiced. You can achieve anything once you believe in it.” As a proud member of the @Women at Microsoft ERG organization’, a special thanks to Angela Bos, Jolien Engberts, Anna van den Breemer- Kleene, Evelien Vredeveld and all Women at Microsoft ERG for your efforts in organizing this amazing event! #iwd2024womenleadingtheway #mspartners #diversityinclusion #equity

Our office was buzzing with excitement, packed with well-known business leaders eager to engage and learn.   🌟 The Highlights 🌟   👉 Tech and Innovation: Naomi Timperley from GSI - Growth Strategy Innovation showed us how important it is to have more women in tech roles.

Here's some feedback from Becky, a Lead UX Consultant at Hippo: "Thank you for hosting such a safe and inclusive event. It was one of the best tech events I've been to, giving me a lot to think about."   To wrap up, Alexa Naylor, our Managing Director, spoke about Digital Gurus' dedication to inclusivity and our ongoing efforts to integrate these principles into our work culture.

Happy International Women's Day to our vibrant community on LinkedIn! As TandemLaunch turns 14, celebrating the achievements of individuals from all walks of life remains a core value deeply embedded in our ethos. Fourteen years ago, TandemLaunch was founded with a mission to not just build groundbreaking tech companies, but to ensure these companies mirror the best of humanity's diversity. Our conviction was clear: diverse teams foster resilience, drive innovation, and ultimately, build stronger companies. Today, our portfolio stands as a testament to this belief. However, our journey is far from over. We continue to address areas of underrepresentation within key roles, boards, and within some of our companies. This effort requires a collective push from our entire organization and community. Despite the challenges, this is a mission worth pursuing, especially as we navigate a world where the progress made in diversity and inclusion is at risk. Let's take a moment to celebrate the incredible contributions of our colleagues, friends, and supporters. Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives are not just our strength but also a beacon of what's possible when we unite towards a common goal. The future we're working towards is one where messages like this will become unnecessary, as diversity and inclusion become threaded into the fabric of our society. Until then, let's celebrate our progress, embrace the journey ahead, and continue to build outstanding companies together. Cheers to innovation, diversity, and making a difference in the world! #InternationalWomensDay #DiversityInTech #Innovation #TandemLaunchCelebrates
