Women in the Tech Part of Tech
Female Engineering & Product Execs
Who We Are
We are an invite-only group of female executives in the areas of Product & Engineering (LA only, at least for now). Our goal is to be heard, to shift the balance of women in tech, and to mentor the next generation of female engineering & product executives.
