What is your story behind this vision or your why?
So it's a combination of my own career
and personal experiences.
I felt a lot of times the odd duck
because most of my career I was not working
with a lot of women in engineering
and as I grew into leadership, I saw fewer.
So I guess one answer would be of my wise,
like I didn't see enough role models for me,
which led me to question whether I can get to executive roles.
The second thing is that I started mentoring in 2017
and I saw the impact I was able to make on women,
on their confidence and their abilities
and their belief in what is attainable for them.
I enjoyed it very much and I made it making an impact.
And it just led me to think that,
okay, I can run more engineering teams,
but what kind of difference do I wanna make on this planet?
What's the legacy I wanna leave behind?
And I felt like it's beyond just shipping another product,
not to say anything bad about shipping products,
but I wanted to leave a legacy that I enabled women
to believe in themselves and to push themselves forward
and I was able to contribute to having more women succeed.
