21: Adventures of Women in Tech: Featuring Tech leader, Google’s Alana Karen

In this podcast I interview Google’s Alana Karen, a 20 year tech
leader who brilliantly and systematically replaces what we think we
know about women in tech with more than 80 women’s stories of what
it’s honestly like to join, lead, leave and thrive in today’s top
technology companies. Alana answers questions like what’s it
actually like for women in tech? Are our diversity efforts even
working? Should women avoid working for technology companies
altogether? How do you navigate becoming a leader, motherhood, bad
bosses and everything in between? These are just some of the
questions Alana Karen helps to answer with her new award-winning
book, “Adventures of women in tech: How we got there and why we
stay? From Google search ads, google fiber, to google grants and
beyond, Alana has been leading the charge to develop, scale, build
and drive team and product development that has seen a rippling
industry impact. In this podcast Alana and I will discuss some of
the toughest challenges she & other women have faced and how
they overcame these obstacles. She also shows us the many paths to
a satisfying career in tech and different ways to balance work
& life goals.
