404: Women Not Found

Have you ever felt your hard work isn’t translating into the opportunities and progression you deserve? Women make up only a fraction of the tech workforce, and far too many are leaving before reaching their potential. Not because they lack talent, ambition or capability, but because they’re expected to navigate environments that continually underestimate them. Perhaps you’ve found yourself overlooked in meetings, worked twice as hard for less recognition or questioned your readiness despite consistently delivering results. Maybe you’re left feeling, “Is it me?” It isn’t you, it is the industry you are trying to navigate! 404 Women Not Found shines a light on the realities women face in tech while offering a practical way forward for those ready to take control of their careers. Through years of working with women across the tech industry, Dr Vanessa Vallely OBE has seen these challenges play out first-hand. Drawing on research, lived experience and expert contributors, this book explores the realities shaping women’s experiences in tech – from visibility and workplace dynamics to influence, progression and navigating the unspoken rules of leadership. More importantly, this book will help you navigate that landscape without losing who you are. You’ll learn how to strengthen your visibility, build strategic networks, future proof your career and create opportunities on your own terms. Because succeeding in tech isn’t just about working harder. It’s about recognising your value, owning your ambition and refusing to shrink yourself to fit the system around you.
