To everyone who supported and cheered for Leddy, this is THANK YOU 🙏🏾. Leddy, in own her words, is very technical, she can touch type, create music and websites! She starred in a short film, came to the premiere of the film in Switzerland, met many colleagues and our CEO, Hanneke Faber! She met Claude the 1st Swiss astronaut (and even tried to teach him touch typing!) And yet she was most excited about the water park and ice cream. 🍦 To quote Nelly: « I want to create a Mogotio where kids can just be kids. » Well, you are succeeding, and we’ll continue supporting your dreams! Watch the story here: https://logi.link/xl9aml Stay tuned for many more actions Logitech #WomenWhoMaster will continue taking to close the gender gap in STEM. PS: I did ask for Leddy’s permission before sharing the email :)
