“Tech is as an incredible force that will change our world in ways we can't anticipate. If that force is only 20 to 30% women, that is a problem”.

Susan Wojcicki, CEO of Youtube, is an amazing example of a self-made tech woman. Having studied history, literature and economics, she did not start her career thinking that she would end up in tech. However, soon after college, she discovered her interest in tech, and she is currently described as “the most powerful woman on the Internet”. Under her watch, several features were introduced at YouTube such as monetization features, subscription services and policies against hate speech and extremism. Besides this, she is a strong advocate for gender equality in education and on the workfloor.
