Dr. Cara Antoine (Amsterdam) is president and chairwoman of the Dutch chapter of WOMEN IN TECH - Global Movement, who is committed to strengthening diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace. We talk to Cara about how the current crisis is affecting inclusiveness, diversity, women in tech, digital transformation, and changing business models.
"Due to all technological developments, companies are moving more and more towards a platform model. Since Corona, women have also become more present in these communities, such as Women in Tech. And isn't your business digital yet? That's really going to happen."
"Digital transformation is inevitable in these times. Keep reminding yourself that it is even more important to have compassion. Don't forget, it's all about people. On such a platform, communities and ecosystems come together. For example, Women in Tech is a place where women can stimulate and empower each other, Corona has brought us together even more here and increased our reach."
"There is still a lot of inequality, a 'digital divide.' Technology (tools and connectivity) can help solve that. Just like an agile and digital mindset. Look at what you didn't think was possible before with a positive view. And we don't know how long we'll be in this situation, how many more waves are coming? Don't create a new crisis yourself."
