Women in Tech Regatta 2021 Virtual - Seattle/USA

Today’s port is all about adapting and thriving, so this session will start with an industry leader, Julie Liveris sharing her perspective and experience, which you'll listen to as you walk. (No cheating, even if it’s raining!)

Please join us for this dynamic session where Julie will talk about her personal and professional journey and the many life/career pivots that landed her at Amazon (AWS). Julie’s story is characterized by major shifts of industry and role, and a profound need to pivot in order to adapt and thrive. Starting out with a fortune 50 company, she was the sole female manager in a sea of 100+ men 20 years her senior. She founded and ran one of only two female-owned and operated companies in the Outdoor Industry, and now describes herself as ‘a middle-aged woman in tech’. She’s always been in the minority working hard to be flexible, adaptive, and lean into transferable skills. Let’s talk! Perhaps you can learn from her learnings and mistakes.
 
You'll then break out into a one-on-one conversation with another participant, giving you the opportunity to network while you walk-and-talk. Ultimately, we want you exploring your neighborhood, your city, your culture, your mindset, your likes and dislikes. Clear that fog and let the sun shine in!
