Eileen is the Founder of The Rising Tides, a consulting firm that works with companies to help women support each other.  In her own words, “The mission of The Rising Tides is to drive a work culture that supports women regardless of life stage and allows each of our boats to rise together, never at the expense of one another.”  She learned a lot coming up through tech companies, and she is now at a point where she shares this knowledge with others and supports building an inclusive and supportive corporate culture.

She also runs a website called 52 Feminists that highlights the story of a different feminist every week.  Look to see me there soon, because I am a feminist.  But, not in an angry, scary, hairy way. 

She gave us several little nuggets on what we can do today to make things better - like what to do when you are inaudible in a meeting.
