Bo: I’m Bo Ajayi Walmsley – I’m a freelance front end developer. I’ve worked in various industries doing Front End Development, Education, retail, iGaming and gambling, and financial services.
Bo: To aid in diversifying what someone who working in tech looks like.
Working in tech is fundamentally about solving problems and having a diversified workforce gives a more human centred approach to solving those problems
Bo: The standard 9-5 model doesn’t really work any more so having more flexible working hours and arrangements.
Flexi working and encouraging more work life balance for mothers and parents in general.
Bo: I’m looking forward to not being a minority in an inclusive environment full of like-minded people!
After 18 months of hosting MotherBoard events online, we’d like to invite you to ‘The Motherhood Penalty’ live event on Thursday 6th October.
Spaces are limited so secure your FREE spot early: RSVP here
The Motherhood Penalty: It is reported that only 19% of the tech industry in the UK is made up of women, and half of women will leave the industry by the age of 35. A huge blocker in retaining women in tech is balancing a career whilst raising a family.
So, what are we as individuals and as a collective doing about it?
Join Marie and other fantastic expert speakers at the event either in-person or online.
