Empowering Women Leaders: Shaping the future of Technology

T200 is focused on advancing and elevating women in technology.

The Journey of T200

Formed in 2016, a small group of women, consisting primarily of technology executives for some leading companies, met at a conference and decided to exchange their contact information. A messaging group was formed — they started to share advice, celebrate promotions, guide each other through problems they faced at work and more. These women decided that the group would be even better if they could add more women technology executives to it. Through word of mouth, they used their network to expand and reach other powerful (women) CIOs, CDOs, CISOs, and CTOs in the world.

The group was named ‘T200’ – ‘T’ for technology, and ‘200’ representing the goal of connecting at least 200 women C-level technology executives from large-cap companies. However, achieving this goal underscored the existing pipeline problem for women in technology – the challenge of elevating capable women into leadership positions.

T200Lift was launched in 2021. It’s a community initiative open to women in technology at any leadership level, particularly those aspiring for their first C-level role. T200Lift fosters the growth of women in technology through mentorship programs, events, networking opportunities, and professional support, all driven by a team of dedicated volunteers.

Our Goal

Our community is united in the goal of women leadership advancement in tech. In our supportive and confident network, we provide both personal and professional guidance to each other.

Our Principle

We inspire each other and the next generation of leaders through mentoring, sharing advice and support, delivering technology, leadership, and career-focused education events, and fostering lifelong opportunities to build camaraderie and strengthen personal relationships.

Our Promise

Ours is a safe space to ask questions or share a career challenge where you can expect others to lean in with support, helpful advice, and experiences. We actively promote and celebrate every member’s success as if it were our own. We safeguard member data and discourage solicitation within the community.

"I am so blessed for being part of T200 community, giving and getting so much of advice, friendship, inspiration, camaraderie, content, and if it would be only one women in tech that this community has helped elevate, it was already worth it, but it has been and will continue to be so much more for so many, excited to continue joining forces with such an amazing group of women to empower more and more women in tech."
