Amazon has launched Amazon Amplify with the aim to increase women in technology and innovation roles across its UK business

Our thanks to Mike P for this. An extract:

“Diversity fosters greater innovation and helps raise the bar for customers, [J4MB emphasis: What does this mean?] and having a diverse workforce is also just the right thing to do,” said Fiona McDonnell, director of consumer retail at Amazon and chair of the cross-industry Women in Innovation Advisory Committee.

We no longer issue Gormless Feminist of the Month awards. Ms McDonnell would be a strong contender for one.

If everyone who read this gave us £5.00 – or even better, £5.00 or more, monthly – we could change the world. £5.00 monthly would entitle you to Bronze party membership, details here. Benefits include a dedicated and signed book by Mike Buchanan. Click below to make a difference. Thanks.
