Embed, a leading worldwide supplier of point-of-sale and revenue management systems, is marking this year’s International Women’s Day by launching its new #womeninaction campaign and highlighting its Women in Action podcast series.
The inspiring Women in Action podcast series features women from a variety of professions, discussing important issues that affect all women, female professionals, and business owners today. The women in the “Women in Action: From Guts & Grit to Glory” series reveal their journeys and how they hustled hard to thrive in their different sectors.
Tackling gender inequality in the tech sector
Embed is a firm that takes great satisfaction in not just being gender equal, but also in ending gender inequality in the tech industry. Only one in every four start-ups has a woman on the founding team, and only 17% of Fortune 500 CEOs are female. Plus, only 3% of women name a technology-based job as their preferred option, as a result of a lack of resources, information and role models in the industry at a young age.
Embed is a business that values diversity in its talent pool and is dedicated to achieving gender equity at all organisational levels. The firm’s chief executive leadership team is made up of 33% women, meaning it is a key example of what other businesses, large and small, aspire to achieve.
“Some say that closing the gender gap in tech is hard, but not at Embed,” says Renee Welsh, CEO of Embed. “It is a testament to our value system, our culture and organisation, who we are and the fact we put people at the centre of everything we do and how we do it.”
“I am proud to be part of an executive team that is 33% female, led by a strong female CEO. And I’m equally proud that my global Marketing organisation reflects a 57% female gender parity, and this trickles across all teams within the company,” adds Sara Paz, CMO of Embed.

Marking International Women’s Day 2023, the “Women in Action: From Guts & Grit to Glory” podcase series introduces eight inspirational women who have mastered the art of being courageous and fearful at the same time, each with the guts, grit, and strength to be successful in their own right.
