In honour of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, SheCanCode has gathered powerful quotes from women across diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and ages in the tech industry, including our managing director, Ruth Cartwright.

“It’s important for me to share my knowledge, expertise and network with women, as we all face similar challenges and barriers. Having joined Active in September 2025 I was keen to join a business that already had a clear and established approach on how their business supports women. 62% of women within the Active UK business are in manager roles with UK leadership being made up of 50% females. Active has proudly earned a spot on the “UK’s Best Workplaces for Women” TM list 3 years in a row. But, I’m mindful that women still hold less than a third of leadership roles across adtech and martech, even as the industry accelerates through streaming, data, and AI. When organisations invest in mentorship, advocacy, and inclusive growth, women don’t just advance, the industry does too. Investing in women at every career stage fuels better outcomes for everyone.”
