There are Consequences for Everyone when Companies Ignore Diversity in Tech

I once asked my CIO at a round table, if the company had a plan to increase diversity in our IT teams. He said, ”No.”

PERIOD.

That’s it. No discussion, not even a token pretend statement about valuing diversity. In fact, it was clear he did not value diversity.

He went on to the next question, leaving me feeling foolish and invisible. That CIO left our company under dubious circumstances two years later.

But his dismissal of even having a conversation about diversity in tech stuck with me.
