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.


Women face many biases in the workplace. However, simply conducting more unconscious bias training among staff won’t be enough to change that.

For tangible change, we have to start looking at the data to identify where the roots of biases form and measurably design them out of the workplace.

In the first episode of this three-part 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 these choking points and how we can change the narrative through design.
