Want to know what it’s like to be a tech leader at different levels? Join us for an insightful panel on Levels of Leadership as well as our Tech Leading Ladies End of Year celebration. 🎉
We are extremely grateful to have such wonderful panelists joining us: Dee Kulkarni, CTO & Head of Operations at Sidekicker; Prakriti Mateti, Director of Engineering at Culture Amp; and Anna Fiofilova, Engineering Manager at Block/Cash App.
Our panelists will share what it really means to operate at their level, from the key responsibilities they tackle every day to the biggest challenges they face. Each leader has taken their own unique journey to where they are today, and they’ll be offering their personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and the wisdom they wish they’d had when they started out. This is a chance to dive deep into the different layers of tech leadership and explore what each role brings to the table, what they have in common, and what sets them apart.
Come ready with questions! There will be time for Q&A, so you can get answers directly from those who have been there. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the experiences and insights of top tech leaders in our community. See you there!
