Episode 10: Karen Forchione, Project Manager, Controller

April 26, 2017 by Julie Harris Oliver in diversity, girls, technology, women, women in tech

Karen is the Controller and in charge of Business Management for Dirty Robber. Previously, she has also been a Project Manager for tech companies since the beginning of Project Management as a discipline. 

She was not only the only woman in the room, she was the only woman at the entire conference at IBM headquarters. She not only figured out the job, she figured out how to hold her boundaries, hold respect, and hold her own.

From the Irish tenements in Bristol, England to the Oscars with her sons, she has had an amazing journey.

The only thing between you and your dreams, is yourself.  We hear that all the time, but it is true and bears repeating.

Episode 8: Laurie Luh, HR Consultant

March 29, 2017 by Julie Harris Oliver in diversity, technology, women, women in tech

Laurie is an HR consultant – Executive in Residence. She helped build Participant Media for nearly a decade and went out on her own as a consultant a few years ago. Far beyond handbooks and compensation packages, Laurie now advises CEO’s of tech companies and startups on strategy and building sustainable and fulfilling culture.  We had a juicy conversation on what employees really care about – and it’s more about engagement and purpose than it is meditation pods and shuttle pickups.  Although those things are cool too.

And for the entrepreneur in all of us, it is vitally important to dare greatly.
