DigiKey has renewed its annual Platinum Level sponsorship of WE United, formerly Women in Electronics (WE).
WE United is a community of leaders at all stages of their careers dedicated to expanding the opportunities for women in the fast-paced electronics industry.
“We are proud to invest in the WE United organisation since it is a driving force in DigiKey’s continuous efforts to advance women in the electronics and technology industries globally,” said Sabine Patricia Haas, Marketing Programs Manager – EMEA at DigiKey. “The evolution to WE United marks further steps to engage both men and women in learning and awareness of critical issues that women face and is a means to promote a more inclusive and balanced industry.”
WE United is a 501(c)3 public charity that provides leadership growth and development, mentorship, networking, thought-leadership events and resources to advance results in gender parity in the electronics industry and adjacent technology markets.
“We are honoured to partner closely with DigiKey, as their leadership displays a forward-thinking mindset and positive growth outlook, both of which are essential for driving innovation and progress in the electronics industry,” said Jackie Mattox, Founder & CEO of WE United.
DigiKey launched a Women in Electronics chapter in Northern Minn. in 2018 and helped start the German chapter in Munich in 2024. Both chapters are open to all DigiKey employees and anyone in the local communities who desires access to experts, tools, resources and support to empower and develop women leaders.
