women++ continues to work with diverse talent, as it warmly welcomes 6 new talented and passionate volunteers to the marketing team.

women++ welcomes 6 new volunteers to the team: Maria, Sara, Constance, Eszter, Justyna, and Danielle (from left to right).

These amazing professionals are joining forces with us to move women++’s mission forward — increasing diversity in the Swiss tech industry. This year the efforts will focus on supporting the implementation of our two flagship initiatives Hack’n’Lead and deploy(impact).

Our CEO, Luisa Contreras, is very happy and grateful for the commitment and professionalism they bring to the team:

“When we onboard new talent to our team on a volunteer program, we care about their career development as much as they wish to contribute to the cause behind women++. This creates an extraordinary collaboration that benefits everyone involved”.

Below you will find short introductions of our new volunteers. Feel free to connect with them if you wish to learn more:

Constance Zoulim

Constance has over 15 years of experience in Media & Marketing Project Management and has strong for social media & digital content. She is passionate about biology & healthcare, loves walking in cities or nature, drinking iced coffee in summer, practicing Qi Gong and creating some fancy clothes with her sewing machine.
For Constance, contributing to women++ initiatives is an opportunity to make her conviction that “women are worth it” a reality.
“An initiative like women++ allows people to reach their aspirations to evolve in the tech industry and to create a better future for themselves”

Danielle believes that more open communication and sharing of knowledge can encourage a more inclusive and honest world. By joining women++, she hopes to share her passion for learning, all while meeting, helping and supporting other women and hopefully making a contribution to improving diversity and inclusion in the Swiss tech industry..

Eszter Rosta

Eszter is a creative and optimistic person with good organisational skills. She’s passionate about digital marketing, writing and traveling. She likes working in a team just as much as getting tasks she can work on independently.

She is interested in innovation, AI, transcultural storytelling, and neuroscience. In her free time, she loves to wander around Europe, sample local pastries, read books, and find joy and wonder in simple moments. Originally from Poland, she’s a digital nomad in the making.

Justyna believes that women can find their place in the tech world and code the inclusion of women into the tech future. Putting her storytelling skills to use in the marketing department of women++ is aligned with her personal mission.

She lives in Zurich and is passionate about anything creative, from museums and exhibitions to digital design and illustration. She likes learning new languages and enjoys long walks. She is confident that good, truthful communication is the solid base for any partnership and that with collaboration and ideas exchange, great things can be achieved.

Volunteering for women++ allows Lara to work in a diverse environment and understand in-depth the Swiss work industry and its challenges to women. She looks forward to contributing with her experience in InDesign to create graphic solutions for outstanding communication.
