There is information out there about how to navigate the jump from developer to managing a project but information focused on women about how to scale into senior engineering leadership beyond is still quite scarce.

    The technology sector is booming. With innovative new startups being founded almost every day, there has never been a better opportunity for employment and advancement in this growing field. But the gender gap in tech is enormous — according to the University of California San Diego, in 2018, only 26% of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) jobs in the United States were held by women. Statistics like these come as no shock to the women working in these fields. That’s why I am so excited to launch WIT at Work — a podcast focused on how women working in technology can achieve liftoff in their careers. For the podcast’s inaugural episode, I welcomed the senior director of engineering at Cisco Systems, Cathy, who took a deep dive with me into how women can advance to senior management roles in technology companies as well as the principles of leadership.

    Why a podcast about Women in Engineering Leadership at tech companies? Although women in engineering are still very much a minority, there is now a real pipeline of digital native, technology savvy women with a computer science degree at tech companies. However progress in increasing the numbers of women in engineering leadership is slow. With this podcast, Women in Tech At Work or WIT At Work for short, I would like to change that. My goal is for this podcast to be a resource for women that demystifies how to level up to senior engineering leadership from the perspective of women who have done it.
