  4. Women’s History Month: A Look at Inspiring Women in Tech
This March, we’re kicking-off Women’s History Month with a spotlight of some of tech’s most inspiring women. Click to learn more.

It’s the first day of Women’s History Month and at Investis Digital we are proud to say the women at this company play a big role in the success and forward-thinking strategy of where we see ourselves. It is no secret that the technology industry faces challenges when it comes to gender diversity. At Investis Digital we are pleased to share that 63% of our Executive Leadership team are women and we value their point of view and what they bring to the table. According to a study conducted by Peterson Institute for International Economics, companies have a 15% increase in profitability compared with similar firms with no female leaders.

Let’s raise a glass to these amazing women in the tech industry who are paving a way for others to follow.
