Achievements as women in the data centre industry
“ There is still a long way to go but at least the journey has started ”
SOPHIA FLUCKER TECHNICAL DIRECTOR , MICIM
Keeping it positive , Dr Mullick adds how despite some initial struggle to have her voice heard as a young , female engineer , she always works to ensure she has support to ensure her voice – or that of her female colleagues – is not censored .
Flucker is proud of becoming a Chartered Engineer and to have worked as part of an award-winning team . In August 2023 , a book she co-authored was published : Data Centre Essentials for the Non-Expert .
Reflecting on her achievements , she says : “ I wouldn ’ t say that my gender has influenced these accomplishments , however it demonstrates that it need be no barrier to success .”
A specific award Dr Mullick received at Intel in the Data Center & AI business unit was for her work on diversity and inclusion , winning Business Unit of the Year in 2021 .
“ I was very honoured by that as I believe it ’ s extremely important to create programmes , build communities and develop training to help women and minorities achieve success ,” she says . “ I want to make it easier for the next generation of women coming up in engineering and to help women who are more senior than me have resources available for any challenges they may still be facing in their careers .”
