"Inclusivity and fairness are the top considerations whenever decisions that involve our employees or the benefits we offer them are made."

In what ways do we embrace equity at UpGuard?
At UpGuard, everyone is encouraged to speak up and contribute to the discussion. Inclusivity and fairness are the top considerations whenever decisions that involve our employees or the benefits we offer are made.
What piece of advice could you give to help women navigate in this or other high-tech industries?
You should have a mindset that you have a seat at the table and everyone, regardless of gender, can make a contribution to the achievement of the company’s goals. Being vocal can be daunting to some but the alternative is worse.
Was there someone - of any gender, colleague, or mentor - who was an example or direct influence that inspired you in your career? How?
I have admired colleagues, both past and present, who are at the top of their game in the tech industry. With a certain amount of awe, I try to figure out what attributes they have and try to emulate their winning ways.
