For leaders focused on diversity, candid conversations happen all the time.  It is part of business to step into difficult situations and deal with issues that prevent the team from being successful and inclusive.  John and Audrey reflect on their own unique experiences, from confronting inappropriate behavior to proactively addressing gender stereotypes in the moment.  As founders and leaders of successful tech companies, their unique perspectives have similarities, despite distinct vantage points and genders.

The future of the tech industry depends on diverse talent, and both organizations are employing unique strategies to engage and retain top diverse talent early and at mid-career.  They share their proven strategies and what it will take to grow more women leaders in tech.
