Rebecca Armstrong, Managing Director of Making Energy Greener, said in a Liverpool Echo article:
“From automation to AI, it is clear that the ‘future’ of green technology is, very quickly, becoming the here and now, touching the lives of those around us and will have a profound impact on our children’s future. But who is leading this change, and what contribution are women making to this debate?
“As today is International Women’s Day, it’s only right to highlight the importance of the role women must play within that conversation, but with only a third of leadership roles being held by women, our perspective is, predominantly, missing.
“Women bring unique insights, experiences and considerations to the table, and our voices must be heard and supported to create a future that is not only technologically advanced, but also inclusive, equitable and beneficial for all.
“Being a female leader isn’t just about being a traditional Managing Director, it goes beyond that. It’s about passion, leadership, and the courage to voice and challenge the norm, whilst also supporting the next generation of women and girls, as our collective action works towards a brighter, sustainable and equitable future – which the many female leaders in Liverpool can attest to.
“I know, firsthand, that women today aren’t just seeking change; they are the harbingers of it. Not only striving for themselves, but also for those coming through and making headway. We are all striving for a new age characterised by both sustainability, equality and technological advancement; shaping the future of women in the tech industry and engaging them in a traditional male-dominated sector such as ours and accelerating change.”
