1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Tracie Zenti is one of the smartest women in technology that I’ve ever met.&amp;nbsp; Her entire career has been working with emerging technology which led her from Hollywood Video where she got her start to companies like IBM, Intel, and Amazon.&amp;nbsp; She is now at Microsoft where she is the Director of Category Management for Migration for Azure Marketplace.&amp;nbsp; Marketplaces are completely changing in a great way how companies acquire new software. We discuss: Her career journey and how she ended up in technology. What it’s like to work somewhere that they are doing a 25 year out roadmap. Mentoring for women and how to get a mentor, which applies to both men and women. How to effectively network with your peers. After we finished recording the interview, we were talking about a couple of things including some of the challenges that women in technology have and I really should have brought that up during the recording because what she was sharing was so important for women in particular that I asked if I could start recording again.&amp;nbsp; The last 10 minutes of the episode is that conversation. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed chatting with her! Catch you next time!
