Thales in the UK are proud to announce that Ifeoma Noelin Okolie, Product Safety Manager and EDI Network Development Lead, was selected as one of the 51 black women in the UK and Ireland making an impact in the tech industry and her story has been featured in The Voices in the Shadow Volume 3 book.

This achievement is not only a testament to her brilliant work in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) industry, but also highlights the importance of representation and visible role models in STEM. In celebration of this milestone, Thales in the UK has sponsored the book launch and has acquired over 1000 copies of The Voices in the Shadow Volume 3 book, which will be shared across schools as part of our commitment to encourage and support the next generation of STEM talent.

We all have a role to play in creating a more inclusive and innovative future. At Thales, we are committed to fostering a culture that promotes equity, diversity and inclusion.
