Resumo:
The mobility of black professionals in companies, especially in the technology market, is the objective of this research. The technology market is a promising market with high investment and growing professional opportunities, serving as a space that can promote social advancement, however, there is still a low representation of black leaders in this market, even with several diversity and inclusion initiatives sponsored by technology companies. To understand the path to leadership positions, what helped and what hindered this path, 10 black leaders, men and women, from the technology sector, were interviewed. They are professionals from the most diverse positions and technology companies with various sub-divisions. Narrative interviews were used to learn about the professionals life stories. Subsequently, thematic analysis was applied to better understand the barriers and facilitators, even serving as a possible guide, keeping in mind the caveats of being a small sample of people, but acting as a first step towards elucidating these issues and helping companies and professionals who can follow the same path. Several important topics were addressed, from organizational invisibility, communication aspects, as well as quotas and the important family support, creating an interesting picture that can serve as a basis for other career acceleration initiatives or for those professionals who need to manage and plan their own careers. The aim of the research is also to be an agent of transformation, another link in the search for equal opportunities among minority groups.
