Statistics reveal a significant gender disparity in the tech industry. A 2023 report by the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) highlights that women constitute only 25% of the computing workforce in the U.S., with even lower representation at senior and executive levels.
Diversity in technology goes beyond mere numbers; it is essential for innovation and mirroring diverse consumer perspectives. According to a 2020 McKinsey report, companies with diverse executive teams are 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability compared to their less-diverse counterparts.
In a field typically dominated by men, Hamidah Aidillah is a standout leader at Parrot Social Pte Ltd. She harnesses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver real-time data insights, enabling businesses to make swift, informed decisions. Her leadership breaks conventional barriers and sets a benchmark for innovation and inclusivity in tech.

Hamidah's path through the tech world is proof of her resolve to shatter the traditional barriers that many women face. As a minority Muslim woman in a predominantly male industry, Hamidah has encountered numerous challenges. Yet, her resilience and method have been pivotal in carving out a place for Parrot Social as a beacon in data analytics.

"Our goal is to make analytics and research insights easily accessible to smaller businesses and enterprises," Aidillah explains.
Achievements and Recognition

These accolades reflect her significant impact on the industry and her role as a data analytics and AI thought leader.

Delivering Value Through Insights
Parrot Social's success is built on its ability to provide clients with actionable insights that drive business growth. The company's AI-driven market intelligence and analytics have helped clients like Maybank understand the evolving needs of different target audiences, particularly in the Islamic Banking and Halal markets. "Their key insights enabled us to validate our customer-centric method," notes a representative from Maybank.
Parrot Social's clients consistently praise the company for its deep analytical insights and timely information. A healthcare multinational corporation commends the company for its astute understanding of local issues and ability to produce significant results in reaching business goals. These AI insights have also helped a Singapore F&B establishment in drawing up their menu and dessert offerings, which appeal to the mass market.
These testimonials underscore the value that Parrot Social brings to its clients.
