Women leaders are needed in every industry, but for the male-dominated world of technology, this is especially true.
Unfortunately, there’s no handbook to paving a career toward leadership for women in tech.
That’s why Yelp Engineering Managers Dorothy Jung, Soorya Krishna Pillai, and Nivedita Mittal will be joining us to share their own individual journeys to leadership in their careers. As members of Yelp’s AWE (Awesome Women in Engineering) ERG, Dorothy, Soorya, and Nivedita are passionate about supporting women in the tech industry.
Whether you’re looking to grow your career or are a leader who is interested in helping other women in the tech field, they want to equip other women professionals to take leadership responsibilities head on.
In this chat they will discuss:
