AXA UK has announced a new collaboration with Women in Data, a group dedicated to empowering women in data and technology careers, marking a significant move by the insurer to improve diversity within data-focussed roles in insurance and to address the gender gap that persists.
Through the partnership, AXA UK staff will have access to a variety of professional development activities led by Women in Data, such as lunch & learn sessions and networking events with members from other partner companies.
AXA UK will also be able to post job openings on the Women in Data job board, helping the company reach a broader, more diverse talent pool.
“I am thrilled about our new partnership with Women in Data,” said Cali Wood (pictured), AXA UK & Ireland’s head of data culture and capability. “Our team is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, and this partnership is a testament to our commitment.
“This collaboration means we can create more opportunities for women in data roles within the organisation. I’m excited to see the positive impact this partnership will have on our data teams and the insurance industry as a whole.”
Women in Data echoed Wood’s enthusiasm, with partnership manager Chloe Aboud noting: “Women in Data is delighted to be in partnership with AXA UK, a company that shares our commitment to diversity and equity. Together, we are empowering women to lead and excel in the data and tech industry, driving meaningful change and fostering a more inclusive future.”
