Why this topic matters

In more than 13 years as a hiring manager, I've read thousands of resumes and sat through hundreds of screening calls. Across all of it, women have been a clear minority at every single stage. Qualified women are missing out on real opportunities, just because they never hit submit. This session gives you the exact moves to stop counting yourself out before someone else even gets the chance to say yes.

Staff Engineering Manager (Director level) @ GitHub | 20+ years in engineering

I'm a Staff Engineering Manager (Director level) at GitHub, where I lead platform infrastructure teams that power the tools used by 180M+ developers worldwide, every day.

Before GitHub, I was a Director of Engineering at Fastly, leading platform teams and building distributed applications behind one of the best CDNs in the market. Before that, I led international engineering teams at the biggest cruise company in the world, and at HBO.

Over my 20+ years in engineering, my focus has stayed the same wherever the systems or the company changed: build resilient systems at global scale, adopt best practices to accelerate innovation without losing engineering fundamentals, and grow the engineers and leaders around me.
