“It’s a hidden secret in the field of technology that women’s role in business innovation and development is far more important than women’s percentages in the research departments show and More generally, among the executives of these companies, on the other hand, it is established that companies that are managed by a large percentage of women, have an average of 20% increased   productivity!!
