Episode 10: Kathryn Vandiver on Gender Bias and Segregation in Tech
Today on Retaining WIT we are thrilled to have Kathryn Vandiver, who is currently VP of Engineering at BlueOwl and has over three decades of technical experience in Silicon Valley, which included roles at VMWare, HP, and NetApp.
We discuss issues around how gender bias plays a part in filling roles within tech companies, what to watch for, and how to avoid being diverted or stuck in roles that pay less or are outside of desired positions and duties. It is important to fight for and to stay true to ourselves and our passions. We also share strategies that those in management positions can leverage to fight these biases. Join us in this amazing episode of Retaining Women in Tech!
