Keyloop has launched a new employee resource group (ERG), KeyShift, to empower women within Keyloop to help drive change across the auto and tech sectors.
Led by Jacqui Barker, Keyloop’s director of OEM strategy, KeyShift will provide an inclusive environment for women by enhancing professional development, promoting advocacy and awareness, and building a network that drives collaboration and innovation.
She said: “I think we need to be more international about how we support careers, develop talent, and create opportunity for not only women in the automotive industry, but across all industries.”
Keyloop hosted a launch event with a panel made up of female leaders who successfully championed diversity, equity, and inclusion in the automotive and technology industries.
The panel featured Sarah Noble (partner in automotive at Deloitte and leader of Women and the Wheel), Sally Foote (COO at CarWow who spearheaded WOW Women and led the Confidence Gap research), Rachael Prasher (MD at Haymarket and founder of Great Women), and Vicky Gardner (sales director at Next Gear Capital, part of Cox Automotive, Chair of Women with Drive and advocate for the Barbara Cox Award).
Tom Kilroy, Keyloop’s CEO, said: “Our mission with KeyShift is to create a platform where women and their allies can thrive, innovate, and lead in a sector that is ripe for change.”
