Stephanie Geno Chief Marketing Officer at Innovid	From Imposter to Impact: Advancing Tech Inclusion from the Inside Despite the progress of diversity and inclusion initiatives in tech, women and minorities are still inadequately represented — only four black CEOs at Fortune 500 companies, and none of them are women.

How can capable young women of color bring their confidence up to speed with their competency while navigating tech’s formidable lack of diversity? In this session, Innovid’s Senior Vice President of… read more
