In Singapore schools, there is an equal ratio of men and women in the science and tech streams. But at tertiary levels and in the job market, men in tech outnumber women. Efforts are being made to correct this imbalance, as well as that in other sectors where women are under-represented. But can this be considered tokenism? Shouldn’t women — and men — be hired based purely on merit? Besides hiring practices, what else needs to change? And what role do men have to play in this? In the final episode of this season, we speak to two female trailblazers in the Singapore tech industry. They share their experiences with conscious and unconscious gender biases and other barriers that may have stood in their way over the course of their respective careers. Despite these factors, our guests also highlight the opportunities and ways in which women can thrive in their careers, regardless of industry.

Marika Anthony-Shaw is Founder and CEO of Plus 1. Plus 1 is revolutionizing philanthropy and creating new avenues for social and civic engagement through music. By connecting artists, fans and organizations, Plus 1 amplifies collective impact and shows how small actions can lead to change - namely consistent, sustainable and substantive change.  If Marika looks familiar to you, you may recognize her as the Viola-weilding touring member of Grammy award-winning band Arcade Fire. For nine years, Marika played her heart out while simultaneously directing and managing the band’s philanthropy and community outreach. During our conversation, Marika will share how she and her fellow band members experienced the incredible energy of thousands of people coming together as well as how they chose to harness and channel it for social good.  Captured by the potential of Plus 1 and guided by her musical colleagues and mentor Dr. Paul Farmer, a founder of Partners in Health, Marika dedicated herself to building an independent organization. Plus 1 was founded in 2013. From a small office in Montréal, she and her team empower other artists to partner with their fans to drive awareness, advocacy, and resources for organizations doing proven, measurable work to address inequity and injustice; repair and preserve our planet; and provide sustainable access to healthcare, food supply, education, equal protection under law and within society for all human beings.  On the personal-front, Marika's also a strong, whipsmart, and funny working mom and wife. She shares some successes and challenges in trying to keep it all together, especially when she's feeling like it's anything but together. With humor and stories, Marika offers some amazing perspective for the Pinterest-induced imposters and the overwhelmed modern women among us.  Outside of work, Marika sits on the Board of Directors of Partners in Health Canada, and on the PIH Board of Trustees in Boston as a volunteer. She frequently speaks about the power of collective impact and philanthropy in the arts, including appearances at C2 Montreal, the Forbes Under 30 Summit, and universities and engagements around the world.
