Was invited to join one of the largest EU tech lead/CTO communities. Looked through the list: ~95% of the members are men. I declined to join a club like this. Here I am wondering if 1. No other CTO member noticed this 2. If they did: why did they not do anything about it?

Unfortunately, this club showcases one of the sad state of the EU tech leadership community. I was once invited to an Ams CTO dinner. It was 30 of us, men. The organizers did not invite a single woman eng leader: yet they invited me, a simple engineering manager (not CTO)

The irony is there are plenty of women leaders, engineering managers. Not a single club member invited them to this organization. Oh, did I mention how the organization's name rhymes to alphamale?

“But it’s a pipeline problem.” I disagree, and so do several other engineering leaders who all shared how they built diverse teams. How many of the practices listed here are you using? t.co/t9Has5r4bK
