In this episode of Now that's Significant, we were joined by Dr Parves Khan, who has been working in the field of data analytics for almost three decades, leading the global insight functions across private and public sector companies including FTSE 100 businesses.
As a board member of London Women in Tech, a group of over 5,000 members dedicated to normalising gender balance and equality in the UK’s tech industries and of the G100 movement, a global movement of women leaders committed to bringing about gender parity in the workplace and beyond, Parves is passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion. She has published several articles on women in leadership and has a book on leadership coming out next year published by Pearson Business Books - called The Power of Women: Stop blocking and start empowering women at work.

In May 2021, Dr Khan was awarded the accolade of being one of the UK's 20 top most inspirational women in Data & Technology by Women in Data which is a movement and a force for change in the realm of data science and analytics.
In the episode, we talked about how we can get greater representation in leadership.
Parves discussed some of the systematic challenges women are facing, but which aren't exclusively for women to solve - it's something everyone needs to address. After all, we're all siblings, parents, friends, etc.
We looked into the benefits that businesses and societies stand to gain when there is great representation.
We talked about how tokenism always fails, and how change needs to be permanent and authentic.
And Parves closed with some handy advice for women looking to get into a leadership role.
