The projects, initiatives, and innovations led by women in the mobility industry

This historic movement of female leadership on the heels of an incumbent male dominance, needs to be told and needs to be represented in the larger narratives surrounding the mobility industry.

The mobility industry was born of the union between the automotive and the technology sectors, revolutionizing the way the world moves people and goods into the 21st century. Both the technology and automotive industries are prominent spaces for their legacies of “boys clubs” as both male leadership and staffing continue to dominate their respective sectors and adjacent industries. Despite the patriarchal pedigree and changing expectations in professional and personal capacities—the mobility industry is seeing a growing movement in female leadership. Women are integrated throughout the mobility industry at large, designing and engineering some of the most innovative technologies and platforms that are driving the future of how goods and people move—and the spaces, communities and roads they move along. While these women spend their careers doing this work, most of these stories are still untold. Until now.

I hope this book inspires other women to enter into the field.”
