Summary

We celebrated International Women’s Day by interviewing a handful of our fearless female New Relic employees to learn about their career experiences and gather advice for other women and girls looking to join the tech industry. Gwen Hurd, Senior Enterprise Solution Engineer, emphasizes the importance of being curious, taking certifications, networking, and confidence in pursuing a career in tech. Lindsy Farina, Product Manager, advises against giving up or doubting oneself and encourages women to take initiative, be prepared for an environment dominated by men, and have their voice heard. Guro McCrea, Senior Director of Solutions Engineering, highlights the need for female representation in technology and wants to make a difference by changing recruitment practices. Michaela Schopperle, Sales Director, Enterprise NE, stresses the importance of hard work, results-driven success, and teamwork. Nada Da Veiga, Global VP of Presales, is proud of her accomplishments and encourages women to join the tech industry due to its benefits. Disha Gosalia, Vice President, Customer Success, attributes her success to a growth mindset, overcoming weaknesses, and learning from others. Celine Maher, Senior Director of Corporate Sales & Business Development, EMEA, emphasizes diversity, inclusion, and promoting a minimum standard in technology. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect New Relic's views, but they offer valuable insights for women interested in pursuing careers in tech.
