women as CEO.
The advancement of inclusion themes in the corporate world are really relevant and are taking up more space every day. But nothing proves this more than finding several women as CEO in large technology companies.
In the past, the technology market, especially information technology, seemed to be completely dominated by men. A factor that can still be noticed in college classrooms offering courses of this kind.
But this has changed, and today we highlight some cases of companies and inspiring stories that show women in charge.
Remembering that the stories and examples presented here are just one of the many models that we see spread around the world. But big change can only really happen if everyone takes their part and does their best.
1 – SAP
The giant SAP is one of the technology landmarks around the world, and in Brazil its importance tends to be even greater.
In control of this company we have the incredible Cristina Palmaka, who is president not only of the company in Brazil, but throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
Initially graduated in Administration from Álvares Penteado, she managed to continue towards success with more courses at FGV and the University of Texas.
But certainly much of your experience came from working at other technology companies, such as Microsoft, HP and Philips.
2 – GE Brazil
Another large company that we will use as an example is General Electronics itself, with a presence in Brazil. We have in its leadership, nothing more, nothing less, than Viveka Kaitila.
This is a brilliant mind coming straight to our country from Finland. Her training was in the area of mathematics, which is why she started working at GE since 1997.
Her career has allowed her to climb several ranks by showing her innovative streak that revolutionizes the company from the inside out. Now, it has been 3 years since she assumed her role as CEO of the Brazil region.
A great example of the many women CEOs we can see today.
3 – Nubank
Nubank is undoubtedly one of the first and most successful Brazilian fintechs. Today, it is still one of the best-rated payment and credit card systems.
In its leadership we can count on nothing more, nothing less, than Cristina Junqueira.
This character's incredible trajectory in Brazilian territory was marked forever by becoming one of the founders of Nubank. Being one of the first examples not only of someone who built a career, but of an entire company.
4 – Cianet
Cianet counted until 2019 with the help of the gracious Silvia Foster. Being a technology company where male predominance was really imperative for many years.
Today, she is part of the company's strategic committee.
As you can see, the market is full of inspiring stories that show that everyone has their place if they know how to make an effort.
That's it for the most part, but if you want us to talk even more about women as CEOs, just let us know in the comments.
Take the opportunity now to check out this incredible content we prepared about technology companies with the best reputation on the market.
To the next!
