Why are there less women in data than men? - with Viviana R., parcellab

In this episode of MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS Jonas Rashedi talks
in English - with Viviana Ortiz Ruiz, Head of Data at parcelLab.
Viviana is originally from Ecuador, now based in Germany, and she
has a lot of experience in supply, e-commerce and data analytics.
Jonas and Viviana talk about the reasons why lots of jobs in data
and tech are occupied by men. Viviana explains that most job
applications are from men instead of women. Together they talk
about the differences of women and men and how recruitment
processes at parcelLab and Douglas work. Both think: Gender
shouldn’t be criteria for employment. Often women underestimate
themselves and are afraid to apply for roles, because they think
that they are not capable of the job. Jonas gives the advice: Never
underestimate yourself and don’t be shy in a job interview! You
also get a foresight to data in the next years and interesting
ideas about how to give access to data to young girls.
