Amongst many things this has included creating an evidence base on which to inform positive action to support tech employers and educators to increase workplace diversity. Ketty leads delivery of both the “Neurodiversity in Digital Technology” and “Tackling the Tech Gender Gap” programmes, engaging with industry, public agencies and stakeholders throughout the skills supply pipeline and helping to create partnerships on which to drive action forward.

Previous to this Ketty worked in the digital tech industry for 7 years including client services and business development in an app and games development company, and a digital marketing agency. Ketty has experienced many of the skills challenges facing employers and individuals working in tech and is passionate about working with others to overcome these.
