I grew up in a typical Dutch family with my father, my mother and two sisters. From the beginning women out numbered men. The greatest thing my parents taught me was that as a woman you needed to be independent; independent of your ‘husband, boyfriend or partner’, and my father was just as keen on this rule as my mother. My sisters and I were lucky enough to receive a full education – school, college, university, after which we all found successful jobs and grew into independent adult women. We made our own choices, but always felt comfortable to ask for advice when it was needed.
Working in HR I am passionate about equality in the workplace and to achieve this there needs to be a greater focus on women’s education in certain fields. I have worked in the IT industry for decades, where despite conversations around gender diversity in tech, women are still underrepresented.
