Networking: The Superpower Every Tech Executive Needs

Fourteen years in software. Multiple industry changes. Countless lessons learned. If there’s one thing that has propelled my career forward more than any degree, certification, or technical skill... it’s networking.

As a Senior Director of Technical Advisory at Unqork I also know that networking can feel daunting, especially in a male-dominated field where imposter syndrome creeps in.

Here’s what I’ve learned. Networking isn’t just about getting ahead. It’s about lifting others up, sharing knowledge, and building a community that thrives together.

Why Networking Matters

1. Career Growth - The best opportunities often come from relationships not job boards
2. Industry Transitions - Changing industries is easier when you have people to guide you
3. Mentorship & Support - We all need role models and advocates
4. Confidence & Visibility - The more you engage the more you grow as a leader

I mentor women in tech because I know how transformative the right connections can be. So I challenge you... Invest in your network. Start the conversation.
