Women in Tech Companies: Representation and Progress

This report examines the current state of women’s representation in the technology industry, where gender gaps persist despite ongoing diversity efforts. Women now comprise roughly 35% of the U.S. STEM workforce, but hold only about one-third of roles at major tech firms and just 11% of executive positions globally. Persistent barriers—including bias, limited mentorship, and unequal access to advancement—continue to hinder progress. Data from leading tech companies shows modest representation: Dell (25% women in technical roles), Google (25.9%), HP (24%), Intel (25%), and Microsoft (27.2%). While progress is evident, the report underscores that achieving gender balance in tech leadership and technical fields remains an ongoing challenge requiring systemic change.
