Women in Leadership: In Conversation with Jaime Teevan

In the week of International Women's Day, Jennifer Nason sat down with Chief Scientist and Technical Fellow at Microsoft, Jaime Teevan, to discuss her experience as a female leader in the tech industry.

These two 'pandemic friends' dive into the ways women have to 'credential up', the necessary changes needed to see more women in senior positions, particularly in tech, sponsorship vs. mentorship and how video conferencing has unexpectedly become an equalizer for gender in the workforce.

Their conversation concludes with a discussion about Jaime's research exploring the new future of work, exploring the hybrid paradox and the effects of asynchronous engagement, gender trends in returning to the workplace preferences and how this impacts staffing and employment retention.
