Women have made remarkable strides in the tech industry in recent years. A Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study reveals that although the sector remains male-dominated, women now represent 32% of the IT workforce.
This growing representation underscores the increasing recognition of their invaluable contributions to the field.
delaware Philippines stands at the forefront of this progress, proving that innovation flourishes in diverse environments. As a global leader in advanced ICT solutions and services, the company remains committed to fostering gender diversity and inclusion within the technology sector.
Empowering women through leadership and growth

Beyond leadership, delaware Philippines is committed to creating career opportunities for women in IT, even those from non-technical backgrounds. One of its key initiatives is an intensive five-month SAP training program designed for career shifters who aspire to break into the world of SAP consulting.
This program has been instrumental in increasing the number of certified SAP consultants in the Philippines. It provides mentorship, technical training, and hands-on experience to help women thrive in the industry.
“We believe talent knows no gender. Our goal is to empower women to embrace new challenges in tech by equipping them with the skills and tools they need to succeed in SAP consulting. It’s about breaking barriers and fostering equal opportunities,” Carrao emphasized.
Championing gender parity
With a 46% women-to-men ratio—nearly achieving a perfect Gender Parity Index of 1—delaware Philippines exemplifies the power of inclusive decision-making. Pigason ensures that gender diversity remains prioritized in executive discussions, particularly hiring and promotions.
Under the leadership of HR Lead Joan Tercero, the company has implemented policies that support women’s career growth and long-term success.
“It’s not just about representation; it’s about ensuring women are heard, valued, and supported. At delaware Philippines, we cultivate a culture where women uplift each other, advocate for one another, and create opportunities for the next generation of female leaders,” Pigason shared.
Tercero echoed this sentiment, adding, “True gender parity means more than just filling positions—it’s about fostering a workplace where women can thrive, innovate, and lead without limitations.”
