“How did I make that decision? I’ll tell you, it was scary as hell.”
That’s how Erica Lockheimer, LinkedIn's former VP Engineering and now Founder & CEO of HumanizeHer, described her leap from corporate leadership into entrepreneurship.
We talked about the fear, the courage, and the mindset shift it takes to bet on yourself, build a movement, and create impact.
