"I've truly enjoyed the Women's Technology Circle because it's given me a much larger perspective on what women in tech experience these days, and also the knowledge sharing is great! I particularly liked the Finance track, where I learned a lot about how my peers were thinking about retirement, and educated myself on the options that I have. But in general, it's just so inspiring to be surrounded by kick-ass women all around!"

Mei Chen, Vice President, Implementation & Support, CreatorIQ

"Nishita, the leader of The Women's Technology Circle, taught me how to use the power of my network to unlock my career potential. The group has been an invaluable source of support and encouragement for me as a woman in the workplace. It has helped me to build my confidence and become a better leader."

Bethany Ellis, Chief People Officer, CreatorIQ

“Great accomplishments are a function of cumulative work done by a network of people, some never even directly connected. These networks have in large part developed organically, and as such they largely reflect the demographics of those that have been working in the technology industry for the last 75 years. For women, the relative scarcity of other women in these networks has been a major impediment, and not one that will be resolved on its own.”

Nishita Cummings, Managing Partner, Co-Head of Growth Capital, Kayne Partners

“…we need to inspire and empower the next generation of female role models to pursue and develop their career in technology and become innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs. It’s a process and it’s not always straightforward. It takes time, action and support.”

Anna Radulovski, Founder & CEO at WomenTech Network

“Recognize and embrace your uniqueness…being a black woman, being a woman in general, on a team of all men, means that you are going to have a unique voice. It’s important to embrace that.”

Erin Teague, Director of Product Management at YouTube

“The word ‘female,’ when inserted in front of something, is always with a note of surprise. Female COO, female pilot, female surgeon — as if the gender implies surprise … One day there won’t be female leaders. There will just be leaders.”

Sheryl Sandberg, COO at Facebook

“The WTC has been a valuable way to expand my network of women in tech and absorb career advice from a diverse pool of functional area leaders who are asking similar questions around networking, mentorship, and team culture. It’s a wonderful resource to expand perspective and collaborate on common career challenges.”

Jacqueline Berris, Vice President at Kayne Partners
