Facebook, the world’s biggest social media platform was conceived by a man, so was Google, one of the most popular search engines online; we can say the same about micro-blogging site Twitter and the now-trending app TikTok. The list of men-led tech giants can go on forever leading to the question: Are the top positions in the world of tech reserved only for males? Cara Wilson, the co-founder and executive director of For The Women (FTW) foundation, begs to differ.
The Filipino non-profit founded in October 2018 was an idea by Wilson, Derya Tanghe, Paco Caparas and Michelle Alarcon, brought about their collective observation that job disruptions in the Philippines were coming due to an increase in digital transformations. “We knew that targeted up-skilling in the future-resilient tech roles was the best answer for the jobs of the future. Since women were underrepresented in tech, and there are so many smart, talented Filipinas, we saw this as a great opportunity for an organisation such as FTW,” Wilson shares in a dialogue with Tatler.
