In this session, we discuss the following:

What were some challenges that had to be overcome, and how were they achieved?
What could have helped make things easier during their respective careers?
Did they have a mentor or someone to help, and if so, what’s the best way to go about finding a mentor?
Do they feel that we’ve progressed enough or is there still disparity for women in tech?
