Real Talk: Women at the Top Reveal Their Secrets to Success

Ever wonder what it takes to get to the top as a woman in tech? What are the biggest barriers? What are the secrets to success? How can women help other women advance in their careers?

We need more women in leadership and intersectionality of identities among women. Particularly in tech. So let’s ask the experts.

Join us for an open, honest, and inclusive panel discussion with real women in leadership roles from some of the most recognized tech companies in Portland. We’ll get a chance to ask them tough questions about their journeys to becoming Director, Vice President, and CEO.

Moderator: Asia Kane, Software Engineer at New Relic

Panelists:
- Ashley Puls, Senior Director, Engineer and Architect at New Relic
- Sce Pike, CEO and Founder at IOTAS, Inc
- Shannon Hulbert, CEO and Co-Founder at Opus Interactive
- Natalie Ruiz, CEO of Answer Connect
