The way we think about career progression is changing. People have tended to look up. Now, looks can go side-to-side, diagonally, or even inwards, reflecting on what could be changed about existing ways of working. TomTom wants to support all of that – to give TomTom’ers complete freedom and transparency in the way they can grow across their career.

That’s why TomTom has introduced the Accelerated Leadership Program.

These little trucks went electric, and thus silent, in the mid-20th century, setting the stage for today’s short-haul electric fleets. While Milk Floats are a thing of the past, the need to electrify transport fleets is more crucial than ever to combat air pollution and reduce fossil fuel costs.

And what can we learn from their past? This is the story of how cargo bikes have persevered through the years and continue to shape our cities.

As the world changes, so does the way we move. As cities grow, daily commutes also grow, elevating traffic volume, congestion and pollution. Add to this, time loss and higher fuel expenses for drivers.

So often the discourse around women in tech is how we can support women to succeed in their careers. But why not the other way round too?
