Limor Bergman Gross is not your typical engineering leader. With over 20 years in tech, including as Director of Engineering at DigitalOcean, she has built high-performing teams, scaled engineering organizations, and led major transformations. But what truly defines her isn’t just her résumé - it’s her mission.
As a woman, an immigrant, and an introvert in a male-dominated industry, Limor knows firsthand what it feels like to be overlooked, underestimated, and expected to prove your worth twice as hard. After years of trying to fit into someone else’s mold of leadership, she found her voice - and now, she helps others do the same.
Today, Limor is an executive coach and podcast host who works with women in tech to help them stop waiting for permission, get promoted, and lead with clarity and confidence. She brings a rare blend of engineering expertise, fierce empathy, and straightforward strategy to everything she does. Her work has helped hundreds of hidden leaders step into their power and create careers they’re proud of.
Limor speaks from experience, from heart, and with a clear goal: to leave no woman in tech doubting her worth, her leadership, or her place at the table.

Think you’re stuck in your career?
You’re not.
You’re just following the wrong rules.
This talk will show you how to get noticed, grow your influence, and finally get the recognition you deserve.
Are you working hard, hitting your goals, and still not getting the recognition or growth you deserve?
You’re not alone – and you’re not broken.
You’re just playing by rules that were never designed for you.
In this talk, I’ll share the unspoken truths about career growth in tech, especially for women, introverts, and hidden leaders who feel like they’re doing everything “right” but still getting overlooked.
From my experience as a Director of Engineering and now an executive coach for women in tech, I’ll walk you through what actually moves the needle – how to build visibility, influence decisions, and shape your path without selling your soul or burning out.
You’ll get a practical and honest framework for driving your career forward on your terms – and stop waiting for permission to lead.
This isn’t another “just be confident” pep talk.
It’s a real conversation about what works, what doesn’t, and how you can start leading now – even if no one handed you the title yet.
