Femke Brouwer-Hobbelen joins Women Disrupting Tech to share why working harder isn’t the answer—and why real change in tech needs more than just women pushing the system forward.

We talk about:

• What it takes to build a culture that truly includes
• Why tech is still not a meritocracy
• Her own experience with the gender pay gap and unconscious bias
• The image of tech that still keeps women out
• How male allies in leadership can drive real change
• And why inclusion starts earlier than we think—at daycare, in school, and at home

This is a conversation about power, potential, and the systems that shape both.

If you’ve ever felt like doing all the right things still wasn’t enough, this episode is for you.
