Please note: this event is intended for women and non-binary software developers*

The Chief Technology Officer helps to craft an entire company’s technology strategy. She is an expert at balancing competing goals to create the best solutions.

But how do you level up to this position and what are the challenges you might face on the way, especially in an industry that’s struggling with fair representation?

In this meetup, we will host a panel of CTOs from companies in New York. They’ll talk about their experiences as women in tech, some challenges and wins, and how you might prepare to take on that role yourself!

Our panelists:
– Yvette Pasqua, CTO at Meetup
– Mary Ferguson, former VP Engineering at Etsy
– Camille Fournier, Managing Director at Two Sigma, former CTO Rent the – Runway
– Minerva Tantoco, CTO
– Julie Iskow, EVP/CTO at Medidata Solutions
