  • Lisa Stähli (Co-Lead)

    We can only achieve equality if everyone is at the table and actively involved in designing and co-creating inclusive environments. Join us!

  • Fabienne Lorenz (Co-Lead)

    I'm tired of seeing the same kind of people holding all the power. As technology continues to play an essential role in everyone's life, we need diverse voices and perspectives to create a future where everyone can thrive.

  • Stefan Koring (Bern)

    I love to connect, co-create and build bridges.

  • Martina Niggli (Zurich)

    "Consider this hypothesis: when we don’t see ourselves reflected in the world around us, we make judgments about that absence. Invisibility is a statement." - Sonya Renee Taylor, award-winning poet & activist

  • Nina Wagner (Zurich)

    After a decade in tech, I grew tired of waiting for equality. Women still endure patronizing behavior, micro-aggressions, and undermining in business. Way too often I am the sole woman in the room, being called ‘the exception’. The exception should be the rule.

  • Hue Tran (Zurich)

    Hue Tran (Zurich)

    The world needs people to challenge the status quo.

  • Idil Wittmann (Zurich)

    Creativity is nothing but a mind set free ~ T. Asai

  • Geraldine Hasler (Zurich)

  • Eugenia Bajet Mestre (Basel)

    Communication with empathy, allowing own vulnerabilities, and gaining courage to act are critical to advance gender equity. Hello 50:50 World provides the safe space for this to happen!

  • Silvia Cordero Morales (Basel)

    "Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance." — Verna Myers

  • Natalie Bausch

    Natalie Bausch (Zurich)

    The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

  • Umesh Thyagarajan (Zurich)

    Innovation and progress rarely emerge from mundanities. True change begins when we dare to question the status quo through diverse perspectives and inclusive thinking.

  • Roxana

    Roxana Popescu (Zurich)

    We must keep striving for a fair and inclusive tech space, especially as the bubbles around us grow more opaque. By bringing diverse voices together, we can shape a future that benefits everyone.

  • Priska Burkard (Advisor)

    Tech thrives when every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every opportunity is open to all. This is why I am committed to inclusion and diversity —because a better world in tech starts with each of us making a personal commitment to change the game.
