1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
What is your story behind this vision or your why?

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,280
So it's a combination of my own career

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,260
and personal experiences.

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,680
I felt a lot of times the odd duck

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,840
because most of my career I was not working

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,720
with a lot of women in engineering

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,720
and as I grew into leadership, I saw fewer.

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,840
So I guess one answer would be of my wise,

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,560
like I didn't see enough role models for me,

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,560
which led me to question whether I can get to executive roles.

11
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,360
The second thing is that I started mentoring in 2017

12
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,120
and I saw the impact I was able to make on women,

13
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,920
on their confidence and their abilities

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,080
and their belief in what is attainable for them.

15
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,940
I enjoyed it very much and I made it making an impact.

16
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:15,120
And it just led me to think that,

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,680
okay, I can run more engineering teams,

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,680
but what kind of difference do I wanna make on this planet?

19
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,920
What's the legacy I wanna leave behind?

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,920
And I felt like it's beyond just shipping another product,

21
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:36,660
not to say anything bad about shipping products,

22
00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:41,660
but I wanted to leave a legacy that I enabled women

23
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:46,900
to believe in themselves and to push themselves forward

24
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:53,900
and I was able to contribute to having more women succeed.
