Julissa S. Germosen, Award-Winning Technology Leader, Author Shares Stories, Lessons & Hard Truths
An article from The Washington Post in September 2024, reports that the numbers for women in tech have barely moved in the last 20 years! In 2022, it was reported that 22.6% of workers in high-tech roles were women. The underrepresentation of women, African Americans, and Latinos in our country is evident, as it is troubling.
Julissa S. Germossen is an award-winning technology leader with over 20 years of experience leading teams at Microsoft, Salesforce, and tech startups. The Latina is also the CEO of Mariposa Blanca, a business strategy consulting firm. In 2005, she established the Latina Leadership Potential Award at Rutgers University. The first for a woman of Hispanic/Latino descent but her achievements do not stop there! The highly sought-after Speaker's first book "Latina Madrina: Stories, Lessons and Hard Truths from a Brown Latina in Tech" was published in September 2024.
AW sat with Julissa to discuss her experience in the industry, microaggression in the workplace, her new book, epiphanies, self-limiting beliefs, and more!
