SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 8, 2025 – In recognition of International Women in Tech Day, GN celebrates the contributions of women who are advancing technology across industries. As a leader in hearing, gaming, and professional audio and video equipment, GN takes pride in showcasing the exceptional women driving innovation in these fields. The day underscores the importance of diversity in the tech sector, highlighting how women’s contributions are shaping products and services that meet diverse needs and drive business growth.
Championing Diversity for Innovation and Impact
At GN, women are not only breaking barriers but also helping to redefine what’s possible in technology. With a focus on continuous innovation, the company’s female leaders share their journeys, emphasizing how their unique perspectives fuel both personal and industry-wide progress.
One GN tech leader reflects, “I was encouraged by my father to pursue engineering, and as I ventured into tech, I realized that this field offers endless opportunities for learning and growth. Our products, whether in hearing solutions or gaming, make real-world impacts on people’s lives, which is incredibly fulfilling.”
The Business Case for Women in Tech
The tech industry thrives on diverse perspectives, which women bring to the table. Their involvement is not just a matter of equity but a strategic advantage for businesses. A diverse team is more likely to innovate faster and create more inclusive products, benefiting a broader customer base. Research consistently shows that gender-diverse teams drive higher returns on innovation. McKinsey’s 2023 report confirms that companies with gender-diverse leadership teams are more likely to outperform their counterparts in profitability.
As one GN team member put it, “Tech isn’t just a tool—it’s a catalyst for opportunity. Women bring empathy-driven design and collaboration to the forefront, ensuring that products are not only functional but also user-centric.”
Advice for Women Entering the Tech Field
For those looking to break into tech, the message is clear: take risks and embrace challenges. As a female tech leader from GN advises, “Tech moves fast, and waiting for ‘100% readiness’ means missing opportunities. Dive in with curiosity and learn by doing. This mindset will unlock doors you never thought possible.”
Additionally, focusing on collaboration and building supportive networks is crucial. “Technology is all about teamwork,” another leader explains. “Surround yourself with people who complement your skills, share knowledge freely, and collaborate to overcome challenges. A solid support system amplifies your impact.”
The Growing Role of Women in AI
In particular, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming every sector. As AI technologies are integrated into a wide range of products, it is vital to ensure that these innovations are created from diverse perspectives. A GN engineer working with AI states, “We need more women in tech to drive the inclusive design of AI solutions. The challenges we face are not gendered, but the solutions we create can be.”
Her message resonates with many women who are navigating the rapidly evolving tech landscape. "Don’t let doubts hold you back,” she encourages. “The challenges are real, but the opportunities to create lasting impact are greater than ever. There is room for everyone in tech, and you can be the one to help shape the future."
Empowering the Next Generation of Women in Tech
As GN continues to innovate, it remains committed to fostering an inclusive environment where women thrive in leadership roles. Celebrating International Women in Tech Day is just one part of a broader initiative to empower women in all aspects of technology. With ongoing mentorship, training, and leadership opportunities, GN ensures that women’s contributions are not only recognized but also integral to the company's future success.
