“The hardest challenge for women entering into the technology function is finding a way to achieve equality ”

DIANA MONTERRUBIO PROCUREMENT GLOBAL STRATEGIC DIRECTOR , TELEPERFORMANCE
Monterrubio believes that the key to increasing diversity and inclusion in the technology industry is listening . “ I think it ’ s important that we all – not just males – continue to listen and continue to keep on learning . It is important to give everyone the spotlight and a chance to sit at the table . Doing so can change everything for the better , fresh thoughts can only improve the way we operate ,” says Monterrubio .
“ The hardest challenge for women entering into the technology function is finding a way to achieve equality , acknowledging our differences and embracing what brings us together ,” she adds . “ For example , I have found that negotiation is an art ; if men like to do business golfing and a woman doesn ’ t golf , is she automatically out of the negotiations because of that ? Some people may say yes , some may say no , or some may say she needs to adjust .” supplychaindigital . com 57
