LGBTQ diversity in tech & startups, post-COVID changes in the Bay Area w Ashleigh Wilson #138
In this episode we learn about diversity in tech/startups, how to improve and encourage it, books to help, and thoughts on the bay area changes since covid.
Ashleigh Lou Wilson – CEO & FOUNDER AT AUDITMATE
Ashleigh Wilson is a San Francisco-based Entrepreneur, raised by a used car salesman and an elevator guy.
Tapping into her roots, Ashleigh opened and sold multiple small businesses by the age of twenty until ultimately landing in the elevator business. She excelled in the industry and was leading global research projects and being mentored by the CEO of one of the leading elevator companies.
It was quickly discovered that the customers were an afterthought and she made it her mission to prove that putting people first is profitable. Ashleigh left the corporate world and founded AuditMate, the first-ever elevator and escalator auditing and management software.
Ashleigh is a CEO who gets results without sacrificing human dignity. In this new vanguard of leadership, if you’re not values-based and human-centric in your approach, no one succeeds. Be excellent to each other.
