In this episode of Imran’s Podcast, I sit down with Sasha Gorbatenko, a leading marketer and project manager with over a decade of experience in IT and digital. As a diversity programs expert, mentor at Women in Technology, and platinum-tier facilitator of Google’s #IamRemarkable workshop, Sasha brings deep insights into the evolving landscape of women in tech, leadership, and the future of DEI initiatives.

We dive into:

• The real challenges still facing women in tech today

• Why many companies are scaling back DEI efforts—and what it really means

• How bias impacts hiring and why diversity programs still matter

• The imposter syndrome dilemma—why even top performers second-guess themselves

• How AI and automation are shifting the future of careers in tech

This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about gender, leadership, and the evolving role of diversity in tech. Whether you’re a hiring manager, founder, or someone navigating their career in tech, this episode will leave you with a fresh perspective.
