Jill Tang: Championing Women in STEM

Once dreaming of a career in police work, Jill Tang now pursues justice through technology. As the founder of She Rewires, China’s most active women in the STEM community, she empowers women to thrive in STEM. Her work demonstrates that inclusion fuels innovation and shows how purpose, community, and technology together can reshape the industry’s future.

The Journey Begins 

As a child, Jill imagined herself chasing justice as a policewoman. Later, she excelled in math and science, but chose to study finance. It was only when she realized technology was shaping the future — while women were being left behind — that her true mission came into focus.

Q: What was your dream job as a child?

I actually wanted to be a policewoman when I was little, probably from watching too many TV shows. I was drawn to the idea of justice, protecting people, and making things right.

I didn’t have the words back then, but in many ways, that desire to help others, bring order to chaos, and serve a mission bigger than myself has stayed with me.

Today, I don’t carry a badge, but I do carry a mission: to create systems where women can thrive, be seen, and lead. So yes, this is it, just with fewer car chases and more community building.

Q: When did you first become interested in STEM?

My path into tech wasn’t direct. I studied finance, but I quickly realized that wasn’t my true talent. What I loved was building communities, connecting people, and helping others be seen.

Q: Can you tell us about She Rewires?

She Rewires is to help women not just enter tech, but thrive, lead, and reshape it. The name reflects our purpose: to rewire mindsets and decode stereotypes.

We don’t just create spaces — we design systems. We incubate super individuals who move confidently between tech, business, and impact. And when we collaborate with companies, we co-create stories that show why inclusion drives real innovation and sustainable growth.

Q: What encourages or motivates you to keep going?

I’m motivated by the women we serve, especially the ones who never thought they could be leaders. I’m also driven by my mission to bring Chinese women in tech to the global map. I want to make sure our stories, creativity, and innovation are not just seen but celebrated.

Companies like Logitech, that live by their values and contribute to a more equal STEM industry, are big contributors to solving the puzzle. We look forward to doing more initiatives like the latest report we co-launched, which assesses the China STEM ecosystem and unveils key actions and moments to achieve equality in STEM.

A Positive Outlook For The Future

Today, Jill is most excited by how fast technology is evolving and how many unconventional voices are starting to shape it. She has an optimistic mindset, inspired by China’s strong infrastructure, rapid tech development, and a new generation of women who are ready to lead.

Q: What advice can you share for girls and women who are studying to work in STEM today?

Girls often grow up doubting themselves, not because they’re not capable, but because that’s what society teaches us: to be careful, to be quiet, to be perfect.

And if the world doesn’t understand you yet? That might be proof you’re building something truly new.
