'One thing that hasn’t dramatically changed over the last 30 years, however, is the representation of women in this list.'
This is just a representation of a wider systemic issue in the technology industry, in which, according to Dr Neil Hunt, the former Chief Product Officer of Netflix, graduated with a Computer Science degree from Durham University, one of the U.K.’s leading Universities in 1985 – two years before the Forbes Billionaire list was created.
And correcting this is something Neil is actively looking to do. Durham University has just announced that Neil Hunt is donating $3.5 million to his alma mater, to specifically tackle the lack of diversity and representation in technology. Neil’s donation is specifically to the Computer Science department, where Neil spent five years studying himself.
As a successful Durham University Computer Science graduate, Neil Hunt became the first ever Chief Product Officer of Netflix in 1999.
