Stories from inspirational women

Story of the month

Corinne Vigreux

Beyond her impressive professional achievements, Corinne Vigreux has become a passionate and vocal advocate for gender diversity in the tech industry, a cause that is close to her heart. In an industry historically dominated by men, Corinne has consistently championed the need for more women to take up space in the tech world. Her advocacy is rooted in a firm belief that diverse teams are not just beneficial but essential for driving innovation and solving complex problems. Corinne understands that when women are underrepresented in technology, the industry as a whole suffers from a lack of perspective, creativity, and potential. This understanding has driven her to not only speak out about the importance of gender diversity but to take concrete actions to promote it. One of her most significant contributions in this area is the co-founding of CODAM, a non-profit coding academy in Amsterdam launched in 2015.
