Through the programme, sponsees and\u00a0sponsors will begin to design new ways of working that overcome the barriers women in technology can typically\u00a0experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ambition is for YOOX NET-A-PORTER to be <strong>the number one employer for female talent in the technology\u00a0industry.<\/strong> We already employ more women in tech than the industry average, but we have to be relentless in our\u00a0mission.<\/p>\n<p>\"I have always believed in the power of knowledge and the power of opportunity. <strong>We want even more\u00a0women to excel in technology leadership roles,<\/strong> and this requires new ways of working. In this respect, everyone\u00a0involved in the programme is an innovator \u2013 redesigning how we collaborate and supporting greater diversity of\u00a0thinking,\" Marchetti said.<\/p>\n<p>The group has major technology hubs in London and Milan and says that currently<strong> 27% of its technology workforce are women<\/strong>, which is ahead of the industry average.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Marchetti, who founded YOOX 20 years ago and who was appointed CEO of the YOOX NET-A-PORTER Group in 2015, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/federico-marchetti-says-hes-ready-to-step-aside-as-ynap-ceo\/\">said he was readying himself to stand down<\/a> as CEO once a suitable replacement is found.
