Host of the Dutch Women in Tech Podcast

As the host of the second season of the Dutch Women in Tech Podcast, I had the privilege of leading conversations with inspiring guests who are shaping the future of the IT industry. Across seven episodes, we explored different facets of diversity, inclusion, and leadership in tech.

Each guest brought a unique perspective:

🎙 Jeffrey van Brakel – We discussed pay equity in tech, diving into insights from the Ravio Pay Equity Report 2024 and how companies can close the gender pay gap.

🎙 Astrid Oosenbrug – From cybersecurity to LGBTQ+ advocacy, Astrid shared her experiences as a leader in the tech sector and the importance of creating safer digital spaces.

🎙 Emily Glastra – As Managing Director of T-Systems and chair of NLdigital, Emily talked about shifting workplace cultures to be more inclusive and how leadership plays a crucial role in fostering diversity.

🎙 Bogdan Manta – A fascinating dive into neuroscience and psychological safety, exploring how our brains react to workplace inclusion (or the lack thereof) and what leaders can do to create safer environments.

🎙 Diem Do – The founder of Alyx discussed breaking barriers for women in tech, offering paid learning opportunities and a 13% pay gap bonus to address financial disparities.

🎙 Sacha Martina – With her work at House of Inclusion, Sacha unpacked systemic biases in hiring and workplace culture, and how we can make real, lasting change.

🎙 Janneke van Heugten – A deep dive into media visibility, where Janneke shared how women can amplify their voices in tech and why representation matters.

Each conversation was insightful, inspiring, and packed with actionable takeaways for making the tech industry more inclusive.
