This video is part of “Break the Bias,” Tech in Asia’s campaign for International Women’s Day 2022. Through this initiative, we’re shining the spotlight on the women who are breaking barriers and achieving success in Asia’s tech and startup ecosystem.

Are women better UX designers, and men better data scientists? 

Why do only 58% of women with a STEM degree continue in the field? Do the career paths that women excel in also lead to the top? Are AI hiring tools coded with pre-existing biased datasets widening the pay gap even more? 

In the second installation of this three-episode video series, we chat with Mercer CEO Godelieve Van Dooren, who has a decade of experience in HR consultancy and organizational design; Addo AI CEO and 21C Girls founder Ayesha Khanna; and Tech in Asia COO Maria Li about the biases that women face in the hiring and promotion processes, their career paths, and how we can close that gap through design.
