Dr. Patricia Gestoso is an award-winning inclusion strategist that helps leaders to leverage diversity into their organizations so they can tap into new markets, boost revenue, increase reputation, and attract and retain talent.

She is a cultural broker, with experience living in Europe, South America, and Canada and has built collaborations with nationals from 50+ countries. This global awareness prompted her to spearhead numerous initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion in tech products and organizations and her efforts were recognized in 2000 with the UK Women in Tech Changemakers award. She has conducted research on the effect of COVID-19 on the unpaid work of professional women and the factors accounting for the low representation of women in leadership positions in tech companies.

Through her career as global head of scientific support, training, and services, Patricia has worked with Fortune 500 companies worldwide to build, deliver, and maintain science-based virtual solutions.

Patricia advises companies, NGOs, and governmental organizations on the topics of diversity and inclusion, materials simulation, data analytics, ethical and inclusive design, and customer experience. Find out more about her work at patriciagestoso.com.
