When you need inspiration, you look to a community to see what is possible and the ways to get there. If there is one thing we do well at CloudStratex, it is taking gaps and needs and turning them in solutions for the benefit of the community.
This is exactly how StratAspire was born.

Founded by an experienced practitioner and a member of the Talent Academy, StratAspire came from the recognition that there are few women at the top in the IT sector, and therefore, getting the opportunity to learn from one another and share experiences and expertise is very important. StratAspire is at the beginning of its journey and we look forward to seeing this community growing as the company does.

As part of our Women in IT series, we want to investigate the difficulties caused by the gender gap in the sector and take steps to address them on an individual and organisational level. We hope that this will not only put us on the correct track to equality, but also raise awareness of the issue in general.
We are developing a 'peer sentiment engine' for IT professionals of every gender, as well as younger generations aspiring to expand their skill sets. This engine will act as a platform for representation of gender within the sector, as well as other areas of diversity. Providing a safe, confidential, and inclusive space for people in the industry to connect to valuable insight, objective guidance and opportunities to network with authentic individuals and share experiences.

CloudStratex pioneers a positive cultural shift in terms of gender diversity in IT. The StratAspire ambassadors have developed an active LinkedIn group, which has many more male members than female members, to help increase cultural brand awareness and engage both potential clients and new female talent. We are now working towards launching our own website to encourage open dialogue and debate with industry peers and promote an inclusive culture.
