In favour of female leadership

They say feedback is, deep down, the best gift you can get to grow as a leader > So here is my feedback for all of you: it is plain to see that masculinity leads more than femininity. As a brand-new mamma in tech, I want to take advantage of this Lidr Aniv3rsary, which gives me a direct line to tech leaders, to point out that education, technology, innovation, community, the funding round, come on, even artificial intelligence are feminine words (in Spanish) – forgive me the semantic reflection, but you know how important language is for shaping the reality around us, now more than ever. And by the way, inclusivity is feminine too! Why is it so hard to find women in tech? Understand me, dear tech leaders: we have to work together to change this inherited code. You know that code tends to cause problems when it isn't taught properly from one generation to the next. That is why I truly valued Lidr's educational proposal, which also sets out to do exactly that: a community for female education and male learning, an inclusive space to unlearn reference patterns, where value is contributed by women and men alike. To conclude, my feedback is this: if there is something we still struggle with, it is democratising good female leadership. And as I usually tell my team when there is a mistake: it is nobody's fault, but it is everybody's responsibility.

That is why I look forward to seeing you in the open space to talk about work–life balance. As I mentioned recently, I went from being a woman in tech to a mamma in tech. Juggling the baby's batch cooking with a go-to-market in web3 is hard, and of course so is succeeding at it.

So, in honour of the venture builder that helped me create Disrup3, I propose the discussion forum “Mutter in tech” to dig deeper into how to balance motherhood with an executive job in tech.
