During Women's History Month, women leaders in technology, like Laura, the Director of Engineering at CloudBees, are celebrated for their contributions and ongoing impact. Laura, who has a background in digital media communications, made a significant transition from software engineering-adjacent roles to writing deployable code, initially working on digital solutions for managing MSDS sheets. Her career journey highlights her involvement in open source projects supporting Docker and her commitment to enabling teams in her leadership role rather than making technical decisions herself. Despite being risk-averse, Laura took pivotal career risks by joining CenturyLink Labs during Docker's infancy and later moving to CodeShip, experiences that taught her the value of trusting her skills and seeking impactful work. Her approach to leadership emphasizes creating environments where others can excel and develop into leaders themselves.
