Geek Girls Are Chic: 5 Career Hacks

Growth hacking is common for startups to make unheard-of progress in building their business. Career Hacks can help Geek Girls and those who support them (yes, that's you too, Dad!) to excel in this typically male-dominated world.

Get ready to learn the facts:

  • Is there a bias against women in the tech / developer communities?
  • Why are women 50% of the workforce, but hold only 24% of the STEM or IT positions?
  • Some beginnings of what to do about it!

In her Day 2 Keynote at 17th Cloud Expo, Sandy Carter, IBM General Manager Cloud Ecosystem and Developers, and a Social Business Evangelist, discussed why this matters, how innovation will benefit, and how to foster an interest in tech.

Learn why women need to take risks and embrace failure to give them the courage to crash through the glass ceiling. Sandy will share some of her own experiences and advice with five career hacks to help women get ahead, because talent is not enough.
