Area of Expertise
Building the Web, Building Power
It’s never been more evident that the technologies we create have massive impact on the world around us, from the personal to the political. Building on unique experiences ranging from advising the Obama White House on digital strategy to serving on the board of Stack Overflow to being part of the early community of open web advocates to being CEO of multiple startups, this conversation will offer a glimpse into what really happens behind closed doors and in the boardrooms that many people never get to see. What you’ll walk away with is a good understanding of your own place in these systems and how to relate to the institutions you’ll work with throughout your career.
