This keynote is applicable to both female and male audiences and will address the “hard facts”, strategies, data and soft skills that are helping women to be successful in the heavily male-dominated tech world in general, and in IIoT in particular. What can we do to break through the glass ceiling and how do we learn from international peers? The presentation explores statistics, visibility, networks (internal and external), career strategies, structure, segmenting and framing, documenting, preparing, communication strategies and salary/ rate negotiation. Strategic, theoretical, operational and practical insights will be shared.
