Diversity in Tech Society

The technology sector continues to face significant diversity challenges, with the underrepresentation of students from marginalised backgrounds limiting access to opportunities, mentorship, and industry networks. In response, I led the strategic launch of Cambridge's newly formed 'Diversity in Tech' society, merging multiple student groups and establishing partnerships with global leaders such as Google and Microsoft. Using stakeholder engagement, iterative planning, and collaborative strategy sessions, I designed and executed a sold-out speaker event that offered direct interaction between students and senior industry professionals. Along the way, I navigated the challenges of unifying distinct student groups and securing buy-in from corporate partners. The project resulted in a high-impact launch that strengthened student credibility, expanded access to networks and mentorship, and positioned the society as a sustained platform for promoting diversity and inclusion in the tech sector.
