Women and people from diverse backgrounds are a rare sight in the tech industry, but WE ARE HERE. Many of us have few role models, a limited network, and a lot of hard work ahead of us. I believe those of us who found success have a duty to advocate for the underrepresented talent from our communities. That is the purpose of this show. I’m Monica Hernandez and I know the value of giving back to the community because it changed my life. A scholarship took me out of a humble neighborhood in the mountains of Medellín, Colombia and set me on a path to working for Oracle, and founding MAS Global —a 5X Inc5000 and HITEC100 tech consulting firm that’s in the top 3% of Latina owned companies in the US. My incredible guests include leaders of some of the largest and most successful companies in the US, and the future leaders with diverse backgrounds who are just beginning their journey. We’re sharing our stories, tools, and knowledge, and focusing on how we can help others find success in our industry. Diversity and sustainability are popular topics many people talk about. But we’re not just talking. These are the people actually making a difference. We’re bringing it full circle, and encouraging and helping others do the same.
