“Let’s do our part and educate [our children] that it is not that women should simply master fields that traditionally excluded women—but that the spaces and knowledge that were always considered feminine should be revered and attended to as highly valuable and imperative to the making of our societies.” —Hajar El Haddaoui

Our Amplifying Her Voice “In Moms We Trust” summit wrapped earlier this month, but the women—and leaders in their industries—who spoke have wisdom about motherhood, equality, empowerment, and more that we still need to share with you. Today, meet Hajar El Haddaoui; a business leader, adviser in digital transformation and leadership, and public speaker—as well as the mother of a 10-year-old girl—who spoke as part of our panel on balance, the second time she's lent her expert voice to our global summits. She is the head of Region West and Tessin at Swisscom, on the advisory board of MOD-ELLE, on the assembly of delegates for the Vaud Chamber of Commerce, and on the Global Campaign board of Cherie Blair Foundation for Women. El Haddaoui was a finalist in the Women IT Awards 2020, and focuses her expertise on bridging the gap between practice and theory in digital transformation and leadership.

Here, she discusses the unique and magnified challenges faced by mothers in the workplace, her economic advocacy for women, current research (and research that still needs to be done) in areas like economic and gender inequality, the crucial role of women role models, and much more.
