Why this partnership matters

As part of easyJet’s ongoing commitment to driving diversity and inclusion across the industry, the partnership will help drive the next generation of women leaders. The partnership will be centred around:

  • Raising awareness of career opportunities and providing mentorship and education programmes for women in data and technology careers
  • Supporting easyJet’s focus on data-driven innovation – making travel easy and affordable
  • Alignment with easyJet’s continued commitment to driving diversity and inclusion across the aviation sector

Opal Perry, easyJet’s Chief Data and Technology Officer, said about the partnership:

“Data is central to how we innovate and deliver for our customers, and so our partnership with Women in Data® will play an important part of our focus on raising awareness of the fantastic career opportunities in data and technology at easyJet and support even more women to become the next generation leaders, who will help shape the future of aviation.”

Ruifan Liu, easyJet’s Senior Data Scientist, said:

“Being part of Women in Data® is incredibly empowering, as it provides a platform to connect with other women in the industry, share experiences, and continue developing both professionally and personally. At easyJet, data plays a vital role in innovating to enhance our customers’ experience, and it’s exciting to be part of a team where innovation is encouraged and diverse perspectives are truly valued.”

Roisin McCarthy, Founder, Women in Data®, said:

“This collaboration is a powerful step toward dismantling systemic barriers and driving meaningful change across the industry. With the ratio of men to women at 4:1 in data and tech, our growing network of ambassadors and partners helps amplify underrepresented voices and create a more inclusive future for Data and AI professionals. We are proud to welcome easyJet as our first airline to partner with us.”

This brand partnership will support easyJet’s commitment to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.
