Diversity of thought drives innovation in tech

Women account for just 26.5% of executive, senior-level and management positions in S&P 500 companies, according to findings from Statista. To showcase the strength that women can bring to tech companies, we hosted our inaugural UBS Women in Tech Summit in San Francisco, bringing together over 200 technology investors and executives.

“This is a powerful forum to drive change, strengthen connections and to recognize inspiring female leaders across tech” said Jamie Sutherland, Head of Americas Advisory Sales at UBS, who opened the day.

Our keynote Amy Weaver, President and CFO, Salesforce observed “We finally have an incredible number of women who are breaking into the top levels. We need a lot more, but the momentum over the past few years has been encouraging. For women to really make advances, we must show that there are different ways to lead.”
