Episode 13: Reena Gupta, Entrepreneur, Founder

Reena is an Entrepreneur with five tech companies under belt.  Her latest venture is called MomRelaunch and is focused on helping stay at home mothers re-enter the workforce in technical and HR fields.

She is focused on her companies’ culture which is very simple = results.  As long as you have results, that is what matters.  And as we know, moms can be the most productive and efficient employees out there.  They don’t have time to mess around and wander the halls holding coffee cups and chatting.

Everything is measurable. And gender doesn’t have to be a factor as long as you are able to communicate confidently.

Episode 12: Kristin Williams, Executive

Kristin is the Vice President of the Enterprise Services Group for Ultra Mobile. After many years in tech advertising sales, she is now deep in organizational development where she has a hand a little bit of everything.  She is very intuitive and smart about people and you are going to want her to be your personal mentor. 

Luckily, she is writing a book, so soon we will all have her wisdom in our hands.

Think of your personal brand at work.  Everything you do either adds to your brand or takes away from it.  Everything.  Always be influencing your brand for the better.

Authenticity is the secret sauce.

Episode 11: Navya Rehani Gupta, VP of Product

Navya is the Vice President of Products at a company called Peek – which is basically the Open Table of activities.  Prior to Peek, she ran product at StyleSeat, the world’s largest marketplace for beauty services that has fueled over $3 billion in beauty services. She has also built large-scale products at Uber, Disney and Goldman Sachs. 

Navya has all the degrees, three of them in fact, from University of Sheffield in the UK, Stanford and from NYU Stern School of business. (Go Violets!) She is a big advocate of women in tech and is in the process of figuring out how to do it all and be successful.

She is expecting a baby soon and hopes her experience will encourage other women in tech to follow their dreams and know that integrating a family is in fact possible. After all, don’t men also have toddlers at home?
