About us

Women in Digital is a global community dedicated to connecting, educating and empowering our way to diversity.

Women in Digital was created in 2014 whilst founder Holly Tattersall was working in Digital Recruitment and noticed the lack of female role models and leaders in the industry. The organisation began as a Mentoring Program that would connect high potential talent with Women at the height of their career looking to support the next generation of Digital Leaders.  

We have since evolved the Mentoring Program to facilitate self service Mentor selection, and added a range of events and services for Women in the industry. We are proud to launch the Women in Digital awards in 2018, and see this as an important evolution to identify more industry role models, inspiring the next generation of Digital leaders.

Our mission

To ensure all girls and women around the world are digitally literate by providing resources and career opportunities to build the digital leaders of tomorrow. We do this by connecting our talented members around the world on and offline, by showcasing inspirational role models, celebrating talented individuals through the Women in Digital Awards, providing skill development opportunities and so much more.

Events

Women in Digital host events around the world to connect, educate and empower the digital leaders of tomorrow. Our speakers are carefully selected to ensure you walk away inspired, with new skills or insights you didn’t have before you arrived. So whether your ambition is to climb the jungle gym of success in your workplace or launch an industry disrupting startup, join our events and surround yourself with success oriented and ambitious women.

Talent identification

Women in Digital connect our digital leaders with the best employers, start ups and accelerators around the world. We work for our high potential members to ensure they are matched with career opportunities that keep pace with their ambitions and abilities. If you are interested in discussing opportunities within your organisation contact Women in Digital to arrange an interview.

Women in Digital Awards

The National Women in Digital Awards is an annual celebration of leadership, innovation and excellence. Hosted in November each year, the awards are an unforgettable night celebrating women in digital and the businesses working to improve diversity.

Philanthropy

 Women in Digital are strategically partnered with Women in Digital Bangladesh, an organisation that trains and mentors young Bangladeshi Women to develop their digital skills, empowering the next generation in this developing country with new career pathways and work opportunities.

Diversity

Diversity of gender, age, race, culture, sexuality and lived experiences brings forth unique thoughts and ways of approaching the world. By considering the world through more than one paradigm we can create a truly inclusive world.

Authenticity

We believe in authenticity, and encourage members and non members alike to embrace their unique talents, strengths and personalities.

Collaboration

When we embrace our uniqueness and openly bring our strengths and weaknesses ‘to the table’ collaboration can lead to outcome & innovation much greater than ourselves.

Giving back

We believe that everyone has a responsibility to give back in some way, shape or form. For us we work to make a difference in the digital world by working to increase the diversity and inclusion of women in digital around the world.

Success

Success means something different for everyone, and we encourage our community to expand their definition of success across personal and professional realms.

Fun

Life’s short, we believe you should be having fun in our personal and professional lives.
