In 2025, the high-tech sector remains largely male-dominated: across Europe, women hold only around 22% of technical positions in high tech companies.
Within the European Union, they represent 41% of scientists and engineers.
At AcuSurgical, progress doesn’t happen through slogans — it takes shape every day through people, expertise, and a culture where competence comes before labels.
A Technical and Human Passion
Magali Brouillat, Mechanical Engineer and Program Manager at AcuSurgical since 2021, embodies the balance between technical expertise and human purpose.
Her career spans from the railway and automotive industries to surgical robotics. She explains that she chose this field because it offered both technical challenge and meaning:
“Improving people’s health.”
This diversity is reflected in the variety of female professionals who help advance surgical robotics at AcuSurgical.
“A real commitment to recruiting women in technical roles and supporting their growth.” - Magali Brouillat
Among leadership roles:
• Basma Abid, HR Manager — nurturing talent and team cohesion.
• Cécile Geneviève, R&D Director — leading technical innovation with rigor and creativity.
• Hélène Lamielle, Chief Medical Officer — bridging medicine and technology for patient benefit.
And in many other positions with:
• Charlène, Claire, Florence, Florine, Manon, Mélanie, Muriel, Pallavi — professionals whose skills and perspectives enrich every project.
Gender balance here isn’t a corporate target or a diversity metric — it’s the natural outcome of a mindset built on curiosity, collaboration, and excellence.
Women and men at AcuSurgical share the same ambition: to advance microsurgery by combining precision, innovation, and human impact.
“We were 17 people when we carried out the first-in-human clinical trial. It wouldn’t have been possible without everyone’s commitment.”
— Magali Brouillat
At AcuSurgical, everyone has a place — and everyone helps write the next chapter of the story.

And for those still hesitating to enter the tech or medical-research world, Magali Brouillat shares one last piece of advice: “Stay deaf to sexist remarks, find mentors to build your confidence, surround yourself well, stay curious — and enjoy the pleasure of working in technology.”
