Listen in to hear about Kalin’s journey from working in politics to joining the tech world, and her thoughts on the employment, pay and culture gap in the tech industry, how the industry is moving forward, and how discrimination plays a role despite these positive changes.
Career Update:
I am an award-winning marketing executive with strong customer obsession and 15+ years of experience leading strategy, execution, and high-performing teams. I believe in fostering team environments where team members feel empowered to share ideas, take calculated risks, and collaborate fearlessly. I believe customer centricity is the cornerstone of every successful marketing campaign and product success. I believe in the power of clarity, in leading with empathy, and in celebrating wins big and small. When not working you can find me chasing around my two young children, exploring the beauty of the pacific northwest, or seeking out an opportunity to dance.
