Empowering Women in Tech to Transform Their Careers

Women In Tech is an employee-led effort to challenge the gender imbalance among software engineers and other technical roles. Our mission is to empower women in technical roles at LinkedIn to transform themselves, their careers, and the company. We are committed to attracting the best women to join our team and become role models for the next generation of technical talent.

To ensure our initiative achieves long-lasting and meaningful impact, our Women In Tech efforts are led by a group of accomplished, respected, and talented female tech executives at LinkedIn who have hands-on ownership and responsibility for the company's success. In order to achieve our goals, the Women In Tech team also partners with teams across LinkedIn as well as external groups. While the gender imbalance in technical roles will not be solved overnight, we believe our Women In Tech initiative can make a positive long-term impact on our world.
