TWTG
For us at TWTG, it’s important to join the equals role models campaign. It is still the case in the industry that it is easier to fill tech-focused roles with male applicants, and we want to change this.
While we are proud of the variety of our people, with many different backgrounds and nationalities represented at TWTG, we still endeavour to drive for more diversity in technology and leadership roles.
Because of this, TWTG will take a leading role in the Women in Energy Circle to help make the industry more accessible to both women and new entrants and, at the same time, help retain the talent we already have. Technology is exciting, and it’s open to everyone. That’s why we’re excited to join the equals campaign.

What or Who inspired you to pursue your chosen career?
Niloofar – “I am originally from a quaint city in the east of Iran. As a child, I was filled with big aspirations and dreams of exploring the world and becoming an astronaut. At that time, the only way I could achieve these goals was by studying diligently. However, as I delved deeper into my studies, I realized that I had a passion for learning and building things. Although my ultimate goal of going to space remains, it is no longer the driving force behind my aspirations. My father had always been my biggest supporter, constantly encouraging me and fueling my passion. But it was one of my teachers, who instilled my fascination with space when I was just 9 years old. She taught us about the wonders of the universe in a captivating manner that has stayed with me to this day.”
Interview with Nadine Herrwerth
Originally from Germany, after spending much of her working life in London, Nadine has now lived in the Netherlands for six years. She would call herself an international person who loves working in a global field – to the point where living somewhere new has become second nature for her.
Interview with Niloofar Yazdani
Niloofar grew up in a small city in the east of Iran. It was close to the desert and at night when she looked up, she had a spectacular view of the stars. This is where her first dream was born, as a child, Niloofar wanted to go to space. Even as a child, she knew that this meant she needed to study hard and get good grades, which is exactly what she did. She consistently applied herself in everything that she did and left her hometown to study at better schools in other cities since she was only 12.
