I am on a mission to retain women in tech. I provide 1:1 executive coaching for women leaders in tech who are burnt out or feeling overwhelmed, tired of not being listened to, and want to lead from a place of empathy and compassion instead of the typical assertive leadership stereotype. If you are struggling with these types of challenges and want to finally have the career you desire, send me a DM to book a free clarity call and unlock the right next step to achieve your goals and dreams. My passion for tech started at the age of 5 and got my first computer, a Commodore 64. Even though I have a Chemistry undergrad degree, my passion for technology led me to Silicon Valley in the middle of the Dotcom boom to start my career as a web developer. Since then, I’ve worked at companies including NetApp, Apple, and Zynga. My career took off in 2010 when I joined Zynga, grew from Software Engineer to Director of Engineering in 4 years, and won 3 company-wide awards for enabling multiple million-dollar revenue days on Cafe World, and successfully launching Chefville to millions of daily active users. Then, at Apple, I led the development of over 30 new Siri music features added for the HomePod launch and my media team enabled the Siri enhanced search on Apple TV, earning us a technical Emmy. When I left Apple in early 2018, I was burnt out, tired of the bias women in tech face, and ready to walk away. I realized though, I’d be walking away from the ability to change the future and create technology that truly accounts for the needs of everyone. I’d become the statistic that 56% of women leave tech after 20 years of giving it my best shot. I couldn’t do that. It empowered me to come back and start my mission to keep women in tech. I joined Tile, launched a mentoring program that empowered 7 folks to switch roles within the company, led our DEI efforts, and helped build an amazing inclusive culture that I'm proud of -- all while being a high-performing engineering leader. I worked with the CEO and my boss to create my VPE role and enabled my boss to be promoted to CTO so we could scale the engineering organization from 29 to 55 in 4.5 months in the middle of the COVID pandemic. I had another realization -- while I could do this one company at a time, I wouldn't move the needle around my mission. This inspired me to become an executive coach for women in tech. I'm also an active public speaker - giving over 80 talks and interviews in the last 4 years. Highlights include speaking at the Grace Hopper Conference, and Udemy’s Diversity Forward Conference.
