Rising Up & Creating More Gender Balance in Male-Dominated Industries - Sumi Singh, Microsoft | E37

How can we change the gender balance in traditionally male dominated fields?
The tech industry is one that's been known to be male dominated. I have a lot of clients in the tech industry, and some of them feel very daunted by this problem, often wondering if they'll ever get a chance to get the recognition they deserve.
So I'm so excited to have this conversation with a leader in tech that's been a change agent in this way, and to learn more about what's happened to help her be more successful in her career.
