In this episode of Beyond the Blue Badge, host T.A. McCann talks with Kieran Snyder. Kieran was at Microsoft for more than nine years managing several UX groups. She got her start at Microsoft working on the core spelling and grammar infrastructure for all languages that weren't English. Today, she’s co-founder and CEO of Textio, an augmented writing platform based in Seattle. She talks with T.A. about being an “inevitable founder” and starting a company with her spouse. They also discuss diversity, how Textio’s board and C-suite are 60 percent female, and how she’s built a killer culture.
