Women have been disproportionally affected by the mass layoffs in tech. The stats seem contradictory to that statement (45% compared to 55% of men), however, women hold only about a third of the jobs in tech. From a strictly economic perspective, more women = better business. Forbes reports that high-gender-diversity companies have outperformed, on average, less diverse companies over the past five years. So how do we fix this? For starters - we fix the pipeline. Girls Inc. of San Diego County recently wrapped up its inaugural summer of Eureka!, a 5 year intensive, hands-on STEM experience for rising 8th graders through high school seniors. These are the kinds of programs that will fix gender equality in tech and other STEM industries. But....these kinds of programs require funding. If you are committed to building a more equitable tech industry, I'd love for you to join me at Girls Inc. of San Diego County's annual fundraising event next Wednesday, September 20th, from 6 - 8 PM. Tickets can be found at https://lnkd.in/gXQM7-sA https://lnkd.in/gka4ZxQ9

Excited to share I was recently promoted at Seismic. What makes this promo exciting is it happened while I’ve been out on maternity leave. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry a little that starting a family would impact my career trajectory. Grateful to work for leaders and a company that are proving me wrong. Thank you for the recognition Lisa Ragan, Justin Cox & Krish Mantripragada !! Looking forward to coming back in a few months, my new boss is VERY demanding 🍼😆
