Lavanya Nanthapalan-Muehlke — Partnerships Manager

In today’s society there is a growing desire for fairness, justice and equality. However, despite all progress, discrimination and racism based on origin, skin colour or gender are still omnipresent. Not all people have the same opportunities in our society, and this is particularly true for women of color, who are at the intersection of several forms of discrimination. Their challenges are manifold, including fewer labour market opportunities, the gender pay gap, prejudice in promotions and regular experiences of racist and sexist violence. This issue is also reflected in the tech industry, where women, as well as many other minorities, are severely underrepresented. A study by the World Economic Forum in 2018 showed that only around 22% of AI professionals worldwide are women. To make the most of the opportunities that AI offers us, we need to ensure that development teams are diverse. As an experienced leader in the tech industry and a woman of colour, I am passionate about overcoming discrimination and racism and promoting diversity and tolerance. My goal is to inspire women of colour to realise their success in every field and to motivate companies to actively promote diversity and inclusion to create a more equitable future in the tech industry and beyond.
