Google-chefen om lyckat jämställdhetsarbete

Alan Noble has been the Engineering Director for Google Australia and New Zealand, a hub with over 550 engineers, since 2007. His teams work on Google Maps, Apps, Chrome, and much more. In that time, tech has undergone a cultural shift. The topics of gender equality and diversity used to be mostly ignored by mainstream industry publications and major tech companies (still happening to a certain degree), but it’s rapidly becoming an industry norm to actively promote, measure and goal set for diversity. (Yes, even in Sweden, when I first started working in tech in 2011, the companies that were actively measuring diversity indicators and goal setting for diversity - like IBM and HP - were the exception, not the rule). The fact that we’re even writing this blog, hosted by NyTeknik, is a noticeable part of that cultural shift.
