Career paths are never linear. And leadership roles are often not cookie cutter. Join us to learn about journeys and roles of two leaders.
As you grow in the ranks of leadership, you become a business leader first, engineering leader second. What does a Chief Technology Officer (CTO), or Executive Vice President of Engineering do? What skills does one need to get there?
Join us to learn about the journeys of two of our amazing SheTO leaders, Tacita Morway, CTO @ Textio, and Shadi Rostami, EVP Engineering @ Amplitude. Moderating this panel will be Nidhi Gupta, CEO & Co-Founder, SheTO.
This event is hosted by SheTO (formerly divhersity), a community of women and non-binary engineering leaders, where we help our members get to CTO roles! This event is open to all women and non-binary members of the tech community. Sorry no recruiters/HR folks please.
