Celebrating the diverse talents of women at spotit
Let’s celebrate International Women’s Day and the incredible women at spotit, who are breaking barriers and adding a touch of sparkle to the tech world! From engineering to marketing, HR, legal, and finance – our diverse talents redefine excellence with style and grace. Join us as we unveil the stories and the undeniable flair that our spotit ladies bring to the world of cybersecurity and networking.
Tech gurus in heels
Kelsey, Security & Network engineer at spotit, works in the daily operations of networking infrastructures at our customers. She embraces the differences between men and women and highly believes in the added value a woman can bring in technical jobs like engineering. For her it’s important to not highlight gender differences but to adopt a more inclusive mindset and focus on a person’s capabilities.
From algorithms to ambitions seems to be the road Sarah, Spotit Academy student, is taking. She’s currently the only woman attending our Spotit Academy, but she definitely knows how to stand her ground. She wants to make a real difference by showing women can do those typical IT jobs as well and we as a society should stop stereotyping certain jobs as ‘male’ or ‘female’. We at spotit love watching her rise and glow.
Liesbeth, Legal Advisor at spotit, has some great ideas to help women make the high-heeled step towards IT jobs. Even though it confirms traditional roles and responsibilities, we cannot deny women would appreciate certain services offered by their employer to take away some of the household chores and make room to excel at their careers. She’s thinking about ironing services, discount vouchers for fresh groceries to boost a healthy lifestyle, a carwash service and maybe even in-company childcare!
An important notion when it comes to women feeling appreciated and validated at the work floor. A notion that is strongly supported by their colleague Nathalie (Information Security Consultant).
Spotit’s backstage divas
Sanne, Yoica, and Valérie, the faces of HR, focus on elevating job satisfaction by implementing procedure, providing coaching sessions, organizing events, making sure everyone has their dream car and wages are paid on time. Between travelling the world and raising their children, they use their feminine touch to compensate for the male dominance in the IT landscape by working on soft skills and personal growth plans for every individual.
While the HR ladies support employees, Yoica also supports the customers in her role as Marketing Coordinator. Via events, social media, the website and general communications she is the main point of contact for customers, vendors and third parties. Building bridges between different departments and external contacts is key to get the job done, and who’s better in keeping all boats afloat than a strong woman, doing it all with a big smile, long nails and in high heels.
Claire, ERP Officer, makes sure our CRM and ERP systems run smoothly, providing all colleagues with top-notch tools to execute their jobs and make a difference in customer experience. Our Planning Coordinator Sofie is the one in charge of planning our networking & security experts accordingly. She makes sure the right talents are provided for each customer.
Planning and organizing seems to be a strong suit of all the women employed at spotit. As a management assistant Inke is a versatile organizational jack-of-all-trades who juggles many tasks simultaneously in order to lighten the load of Steven and Frederik as much as possible. She ensures that they can shine and excel in their core responsibilities by managing their calendars, organizing meetings and drafting internal communications.
Finance, fun & fabulousness

Who said men are better with numbers?
