Diverse Leaders in Tech
A world-class community of exceptional leaders equipped and empowered to set the standard for DEI excellence in European tech
Our Mission
We are striving to change the face of tech in the Netherlands and beyond through a new wave of diverse leadership. By 2030, our community aims to transform the tech industry by normalising data-driven DEI, enhancing cultural, gender, and neurodiversity representation, ending workplace discrimination, fostering LGBTQI+ safety, retaining international talent, and mitigating AI bias through comprehensive education and allyship.
DEI is a business enabler
Whether it’s in the workplace or society at large, we all have a responsibility to work towards a more inclusive and equitable future. DEI is a real business enabler. It’s not a nice-to-have if you are in technology, it’s a must-have.
