Women & girls in tech: an innovative program to inspire career paths
At the initiative of BNP Paribas, and with the help of the Digital Ladies & Allies and BECOMTECH associations,
“Women & Girls in Tech” was born in 2019 from the desire to deconstruct stereotypes in the Tech professions, inspire women and girls to pursue a career in this field, and encourage women and girls from every generations to feel justified in their choice of a career path in digital technology.
Conferences, round tables, and more: all ways of finding out about the different opportunities in technology, inspiring career paths, deconstructing clichés, and allowing women to take their rightful place in Tech.
On this occasion, Nathalie Doré, Chief impact & innovation officer at BNP Paribas Cardif, and Solenne de Montessus, Analytics manager at BNP Paribas Cardif, talked on the stage about their careers and their roles at BNP Paribas Cardif, to showcase the careers of women in tech and digital.
