## Summary

Jackie Mattox, president and CEO of Women in Electronics, discusses the organization's mission to achieve gender parity in the electronics industry, noting that women hold only up to 13% of leadership roles. She explains that while the industry has strong technical leadership, systemic change requires linking DEI metrics to executive compensation and focusing on retention through mentorship. Mattox highlights the critical role of sponsorship and allyship in helping women advance, arguing that diverse teams better reflect the 50% female consumer base and drive innovation.
