Creating the Tech Career Development Platform: DevelopHer W/Lauren Hasson

In conversation with Lauren Hasson, a techno-savvy women beaming in all the way from Houston Texas. Lauren is the Founder of DevelopHer, an award-winning career development platform that provides women in tech with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to overcome the gender gap in leadership, opportunity, and pay in tech for good.  DevelopHer is the result of Lauren’s journey from rock bottom to a high-profile global leader in just two short years. Despite her Duke honors degree with a triple major in electrical engineering, computer science, and economics, Lauren found herself back at square one with zero technical skills and zero job prospects. Lauren built DevelopHer, to empower women in tech to ignite their potential and build their value.
In this episode we took a deep dive into Laura’s career journey, her new initiative “DevelopHER” which she created to inspire women in technology to level up to became comfortable in her own skin.
My favorite golden nugget from this episode: "Own your outcome and take action to make change in your career journey."
