Today and every day we cele­bra­te the incre­di­ble glo­bal con­tri­bu­ti­ons of women around the world.

The latest figu­res from a Bit­kom sur­vey on women in the ICT sec­tor in 2023 speak a clear lan­guage: the pro­por­ti­on of women among IT pro­fes­sio­nals in tech­no­lo­gy and tele­com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons com­pa­nies is only 5%, while the over­all pro­por­ti­on of women in the ICT sec­tor in 2023 is 15% on avera­ge. The­se figu­res high­light the exis­ting chall­enge and the importance of encou­ra­ging the par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on of women in the­se fields. At ORISA, we reco­gni­ze the important role that women play in sha­ping the future of tech­no­lo­gy. That is why we are not only proud of the almost 40% quo­ta of women in our com­pa­ny, we take it for gran­ted.

On this day, we would like to high­light a long-stan­ding employee who has made an inspi­ring jour­ney from soft­ware deve­lo­per to pro­ject and team lea­der at ORISA sin­ce 2008. Kat­rin Rudolf is a living exam­p­le of com­mit­ment, talent and per­se­ver­ance. Her deve­lo­p­ment reflects how women can flou­rish in the tech indus­try when given the oppor­tu­ni­ty to reach their full poten­ti­al. In her own words, Kat­rin Rudolf empha­si­zes that the dyna­mics in the male-domi­na­ted IT indus­try have chan­ged. She firm­ly belie­ves that the real obs­ta­cle is not the lack of accep­tance of women in the tech world, but rather the lack of inte­rest among young women to choo­se a care­er in tech­no­lo­gy. Moti­va­ti­on and fema­le role models in lea­der­ship posi­ti­ons are requi­red to show women from an ear­ly age that tech­ni­cal care­ers are not only pos­si­ble, but exci­ting, diver­se and full of oppor­tu­ni­ties.

That’s why we not only want to cele­bra­te the achie­ve­ments of our fema­le employees, but also actively encou­ra­ge women to take their place in the IT indus­try to help shape the future of tech­no­lo­gy.

We will con­ti­nue to sup­port women in the tech indus­try — not just today, but every day!
