The climate emergency challenges us at all levels. As we seek to become responsible and conscientious consumers, we are looking forward to what the great powers decide, at a global level, at the Climate Change Summit(COP26) that will take place in the coming days in Glasgow.
Andrea Campos Guerra is the CEO of the start-up Yana and winner of Globant's Women that Build 2020 award in the “Rising Star” category.
“A few months ago, Yana was the most downloaded application in the app store in Mexico and in 13 other Latin American countries and it was something very nice not only at the company level, but we also saw it as an achievement that a mental health app reached number one. I believe that technology can contribute much more to mental health care ”, Andrea Campos Guerra.
“There are questions that need to be asked that can be uncomfortable: is this type of technology in favor of companies, of people? Does it have an impact on the possibilities that people have to develop?”. Vladimir Garay, director of NGO Incidencia de Derechos Digitales (Digital Rights Incidence).
“Many companies have religious groups. Every day a company calls me to help them with these ideas, it’s a movement that’s accelerating ”.
Diversity management is the ability to attract different perspectives, personalities and realities, male and female collaborators who will contribute to the competitive advantages of a company.
The current crisis is also a huge opportunity for female employment transformation: we are at the best time to renew the skills that accompany the technological acceleration in an inclusive and diverse way.
Inclusion is no longer seen as an exclusively demanding issue: it has to do with the heart and functionality of the business and with the profitability of companies. With a greater participation of women in the IT industry, almost US $ 11 trillion can be generated in world GDP.
“There are many companies that are redefining their mission. Many pre-existing contracts with collaborators are weakening, because all industries are changing ”. Mariela Mociulsky, CEO of Trendsity
