Did you know Latin America is one of the fastest-growing tech regions in the world? But while we see the region advancing forward, it’s not advancing as a whole, as women are still underrepresented in the growing industry. Across LatAm, only about 23% of technology workers are women, and when it comes to leadership, the number drops even lower.
That gap doesn’t just limit careers; it shapes the kind of companies that get built, and the products that reach the market. Especially when innovations are born through lived experiences, and those experiences look different depending on who’s in the room.
Today’s guest, Odille Sanchez from Tec de Monterrey in Mexico, is working to change that. As the leader of Tech and Scientific-based Entrepreneurship Center of Excellence, she’s on the ground with startups and innovation programs across the region, and has a clear view of both the barriers women face and the opportunities waiting to be unlocked.
