Women In Tech: Sharing Our Experiences
Summary
It takes a thick skin, a bit of persistence, and a very strong will to stand your ground and rise to the challenge of working collaboratively with a wide range of personality types. I’ve had to become more inquisitive about how companies SHOW their values, to ensure that I’m not getting into a partnership that doesn’t back up their message with their culture.” - Emily White, VP, Marketing “Now that Im a greybeard, so to speak, its a bit hard for me to distinguish my femaleness from my work. I feel like I “grew up” as a woman in tech, and I grew up with my colleagues and the technologies - we faced the learning curves that one does everywhere - small and large bugs, a lot of rollbacks, some refactoring, workarounds and hacks. I am also surrounded with great women in every different department of the company - a rarity in the tech world.” - Felicia Haynes, VP of Account Services “Use your voice honestly and without apology. When you have a broader spectrum from which to draw your solutions, that’s just good business.” - Ellie Powers, SVP, Delivery If you are interested in becoming more involved with initiatives supporting women in tech, check out some of the organizations below!
