Nick recently wrote about “The Importance of Male Allies in the Women Empowering Defence Community“
The defence sector still leans heavily male, especially in senior roles. This imbalance makes the support from male allies indispensable for enacting genuine change. One key consideration is to ensure a gender-diverse candidate pool for pivotal positions. A commitment to diversity isn’t just ethical but pragmatic; diverse teams have consistently proven to be more effective, thus making a compelling business case. By actively supporting gender diversity, we unlock a treasure trove of untapped potential, accelerating not only individual careers but the industry at large.
Nick Snelling’s vision and expectations for WED resonate with the core values that drive our community. His insights not only inspire us but also challenge us to set higher standards in our quest for gender equality in the Defence and Security sectors. We are incredibly fortunate to have him as part of our leadership team, and we look forward to the transformative changes that his involvement will undoubtedly bring.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know Nick. Stay tuned for more updates and insights from our team as we continue to strive for a more equitable future.
