Women in tech:
your place is here
At Orange, we believe women belong in tech. They innovate, lead, code, teach, and inspire. And above all, they are driving lasting change in technical and digital careers.
A sense of mutual respect and mindfulness permeates our culture-in fact, it’s the key to our success.
Meriem - Head of technical department:
"Being a woman in a technical world is an asset because we bring a different way of managing."

Khaoula - AI manager:
"Clearly, artificial intelligence needs women. Gender diversity in teams is essential, especially to limit bias. Women are still underrepresented. Yet the opportunities are there: in AI, there’s no time to get bored, there’s always innovation, new challenges, and you can work in any field – from sports to beauty, healthcare to aviation, defence, or cybersecurity."

Role models to inspire women in tech
Emilia
Technical director for public cloud offer"Mentoring is very important for career development, especially for women. I was lucky to benefit from it, and now I pass it on, sharing my experiences. At Orange, I don’t feel favoured or disadvantaged for being a woman. There’s true equity between men and women. We all have the means to thrive in our work."
Sandrine
Engineer"My experience at Orange has given me complete freedom: to choose the job I’ve wanted for a long time, to decide how I manage my projects, and to set my own pace while maintaining work-life balance. That’s why I chose to work at Orange."
Mia
Pentester"My advice to women is: take up space, speak loudly. When you’re in a room, make sure everyone has seen and heard you. Never “stay in your place”. See that job you dream about but think you’re not good enough for? Apply anyway."
