Girls at Tech Nordics works to inspire the next generation of girls to explore the exciting possibilities of a career in technology. We believe that greater diversity in tech is essential to shaping a future that reflects and serves everyone, and that early encouragement helps girls see their potential and make confident choices about their paths. As Stockholm Lead, Monica Avby Strahm brings extensive experience from the SaaS and telecom industries, where she has led growth, built strategic partnerships and driven digital transformation. With this background, she helps connect real-world insight with inspiration, showing girls that they can be the innovators and leaders who shape the future of technology.
The world needs more women and diversity overall at tech, to create a future that caters to the needs of all of us. Girls in Tech Nordics plays an important role in helping to inspire girls by showing them the breadth of possibilities of a ‘career at tech’, through hands-on engagement, and demonstrating the need for their perspective. Encouraging them in time for their first decision on their own path – high school program selection – is such an important time that was previously not addressed.
Having been working in the higher education sector for a while, specifically with engineers, I have realized the work being done at GiTN really matters. More girls should choose to study STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) at an early age so that we see more diversity at tech.
We always want more great minds and inspiring collaborations. Be a part of GiTN Stockholm you too!
