TEDxGlasgow 2019 Principal Partner #SCOTLANDISNOW'

Only 15% of leadership positions are filled by women.
Despite corporate and educational initiatives to boost this figure, it remains stubbornly low. Why haven’t we made more progress?
Mark is the first male ambassador of Women’s Enterprise Scotland and has mentored many men and women towards executive leadership roles. In his talk, he reflects on his experience in the tech industry to address the tough question: what single change can each of us make to address this imbalance?
Ipso Facto
Mark was instrumental in the success of multiple award-winning tech start-ups, including as COO of Skyscanner, one of Europe's most successful technology companies. In 2014, the Institute of Directors named him Director of the Year and in 2016 he won the UK Digital Masters award for excellence in general management. In 2017, he was announced as Women’s Enterprise Scotland’s first male ambassador. Since leaving Skyscanner, Mark’s focus has been on helping to stimulate Scotland’s flourishing technology industry, acting as an advisor, investor and non-executive director in start-ups across the sector. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
