Sophie joins the Women Pivoting to Digital Taskforce

Co-Founder of HeyFlow, Sophie Creese has joined the Women Pivoting to Digital Taskforce and will work with the City of London Corporation to help mid-career women pivot to digital roles. The aim is to address the underrepresentation of women working in digital careers by providing women with vital skills in order to future-proof the digital workforce. 

The Women Pivoting to Digital Taskforce brings together business, government, third sector, and industry groups to bring more attention to and action around supporting women from non-technical backgrounds to career change into technology roles.  29th April marked the commencement of the Taskforce.  

Taskforce members are comprised of 65 different subject matter experts from across the UK regions with an interest in digital and diversity, responsible for delivering the Workstream outputs. 

“In the UK, half of women leave the tech sector by age 35, often due to inflexible working conditions that exclude mothers. I'm excited to join the Women Pivoting to Digital Taskforce, dedicated to increasing female representation in tech through career switching. MotherBoard & HeyFlow bring a vital perspective, highlighting the need for practical solutions to ensure women with already established careers in other industries are offered the support needed to thrive in tech roles.” Sophie Creese, Co-Founder of MotherBoard & HeyFlow
