Episode 9: Sue Nallapeta: From Engineer to VPE
On today’s episode of the Retaining WIT podcast, we are joined by Sue Nallapeta, VP of Engineering at Apartment List. We are excited to chat with her about her journey from being an engineer to getting to an executive leadership role, the challenges of being a mom as an engineering leader, and finally dive into the topic that women are “downgraded” when being offered a role in tech. Sue, thank you for joining us today!
Key Insights:
Resilience is key to thriving and weathering adversity in hard-won goals. Focusing on individual tasks and having an inclusive home life helps with work success. Balance can be affected by unrealistic expectations and standards; prioritize and push where you can with respect to your current resources and status, while building a network that can support your successes in many different ways.
Curate successes by delivering value to your business; this can be done by providing solutions for motivation, diverse and inclusive team building, and managing in an innovative, relevant manner, despite whatever may come up. Use feedback, and maintain the psychological safety for a cycle of management to adapt responses to issues and develop solutions with empathetic collaboration.
