Leidos: Driving diversity is business critical 

Jo Etheridge, VP & Managing Director, National Security & Defence, shares her message of support

Leidos is delighted to continue our sponsorship and charter signatory role with Women in Defence, marking our fifth year of partnership. Driving diversity is not just a goal; it’s essential to our success. We are dedicated to fostering inclusive workplace environments where all women can thrive.

The defence industry is vital to our business, and we are privileged to contribute innovative, mission critical support to those on the front lines. By building a diverse and inclusive workforce, we enhance our capabilities in design, delivery, and strategic approach.

At Leidos, collaboration and inclusion are integral to everything we do—they are embedded in our core values. Our partnership with Women in Defence reinforces our commitment to gender equality throughout the sector. With active participation in workshops and our support of the annual awards, we highlight and celebrate the role models who are driving change in defence.

We proudly support Women in Defence to help create a better future for our people, our business, our customers, and the defence communities we serve.
