We are fortunate to have key female business leaders at Cisilion, all of which are passionate about impacting the future and leading grassroots projects to introduce more women and girls to the IT space. On an annual basis, our female leaders attend the CRN Women in Tech conference to gain more ideas and perspectives on how we can attract more women to our space, as well as getting our females workforce together on a regular basis to identify ways in which we can cater more to all genders as a business.
