Why are you interested in participating at Product4Good?

I am extremely passionate about democratizing access to information. Access to information (whether through education or networking) is the key differentiator in people’s career outcomes and while talent is equally distributed, access to education and networks is not. This is why I love being part of APM Montreal and APM Canada, and love speaking at women in tech type of conferences.

When I am not directly addressing the under-represented groups, I like to help my VP-level peers to understand how they can create better cultures on their teams, to be inclusive.
