Right now is an exciting time to be part of the Technology industry, as it is constantly growing and evolving at a rapid pace. However, it is well known that the tech industry is highly male-dominated and the topic of women in tech has been widely discussed over the years. Cognigy is delighted to present this special International Women´s Day webinar with our guest speaker Megan Gill, Head of Recruitment at Xena together with Alexandra Anders, VP of People & Culture at Cognigy, and Marinos Balaskas, Senior Technical Recruiter at Cognigy.
