Breaking the Code: How Laura Fernandez is Transforming Tech from Within

from Create What Matters · host Create What Matters

From one frustrating conference with zero women speakers to building a tech school that's trained 2,000 women and connected 30,000 globally, Laura Fernandez is flipping the script on tech's diversity problem. The founder and CEO of allwomen reveals why companies obsess over recruitment while ignoring the real issue: half of women in tech leave mid-career.Laura challenges tech's masculine leadership model with hard data showing diverse teams deliver better results, shares success stories of lawyers-turned-data-scientists, and exposes the double standards that punish mothers while celebrating fathers. With a team that's 96% female and 75% BIPOC, she's not just talking about change—she's building it.Provocative, practical, and packed with insights on how to transform tech from the inside out, this conversation offers a roadmap to a future where we won't need diversity policies because power is already shared.
