It’s Women’s History Month, and this year’s theme is to build a gender-balanced world. As International Women’s Day - the organization behind the theme - states, “everyone has a part to play - all the time, everywhere.”

Studies have shown that diverse teams are smarter teams, but lack of representation in our industry is still a problem. According to Women in the Workplace 2018, a study conducted by McKinsey and Lean In, only one in five senior leaders is a woman, and one in 25 is a woman of color. But there are inspiring women who are changing these statistics.

Representation matters, and we’re excited to shine a light on the women-led companies that run on MongoDB.

In a series of blog posts, you’ll get to know these women, the values they stand for, their journey to the C-Suite, and the trials they faced along the way. You'll also get to hear a bit about how they are using MongoDB because, let’s face it, we’re always excited to learn how MongoDB helps executives execute their vision.
