I'm often asked how I got started on my path to lead @ITU... My father encouraged me to be a girl in STEM and that journey took me from the chemistry lab to advancing global connectivity and digital transformation! Who or what inspired you to be a girl in tech? #GirlsInICT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ITU! 🎉🎊🎈 TODAY we celebrate #WTISD and #ITU160 years! Let us work together so that ALL WOMEN AND GIRLS have access, use and benefit from digital technologies!
We've seen great progress in 16 decades with more people connected than ever before, yet one-third of humanity remains offline. #WTISD is a moment to reflect on the work still ahead to ensure everyone benefits from the opportunities brought by tech itu.int/en/mediacentre/Pages… #ITU160

I hope the finals will make history! Will we see Katie Ledecky win the 1500 Free? She has the most gold Olympics medals of any woman. Will Léon Marchand medal in both the 200 Butterfly and 200 Breaststroke? Who will win in the 100 Free in Women-Men? I am for Sarah Sjöström!!
