Empowering women in the no-code space: Ceros recruits new CEO, Alison Lange Engel
"Fewer than 10% of CEOs are women. I hope to accelerate the narrative and cultural belief that women can and should lead at the highest level" reports new Ceros CEO, Alison Lange Engel.
The no-code revolution is democratising technology and enabling individuals without coding expertise to create and manage digital content. However, despite its inclusive nature, the tech industry still grapples with gender disparity.
As of 2023, women hold about 26.7% of tech-related jobs and occupy less than 20% of executive positions in major tech companies. Yet, companies with diverse leadership report significantly higher innovation revenue (45%) compared to those with less diversity (26%).
HLabs is a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in the no-code space and we’re proud that our tech partners and associates are helping to pave the way for a brighter future.

First things first, we’re excited for our biggest no-code partner Ceros who are championing a brand new CEO to lead them forward into the next chapter of their journey. As announced on Linkedin. Alison Lange Engel is replacing long-term friend of HLabs, Simon Berg.
We’re looking forward to seeing new updates to the platform, continued improvements to performance, as well as focussing on a customer-centric vision that will only benefit our mutual clients. Watch this space!

At HLabs, we’re committed to bridging the gap too. As a female-led web digital agency, we’ve championed diversity since we started in 2020. The leadership team, founded by Hannah Springett after leaving her Lead Creative Strategy role at Ceros, has grown the team to 40 creatives. She's supported by Creative Director Shadi Ekman who stands as a testament to the transformative power of women in tech.
Han & Shadi's visionary approach to design has been instrumental in leveraging no-code platforms to deliver cutting-edge solutions for our clients like Red Bull, Condé Nast and Atlas Obscura. Our work so far has seen HLabs land Webby wins and Awwwards honours.
Shadi has also played a huge role in writing HLabs’ vision statement of 'Creating Stories That Matter' which is explained further in our vision report.

These leaders are redefining the landscape by bringing fresh perspectives and driving innovation.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
