Manage episode 337133375 series 3342973
IT Ops needs more representation of women – and it has a long way to go.
Today's guest Brenda Standridge, former Regional Director Data Center Operations at Google, chats to Elias about running data centers at “Google” scale, how IT could get more attractive for women, and more.
What's in it for you:
1. How IT Ops is changing in regard to the under-representation of women
2. What companies can do to make technical operations teams and roles more attractive for women
3. Brenda’s day-to-day as a regional director for data center technical operations
4. The challenges with running data centers at “Google” scale
5. Brenda’s number one leadership lesson for first-time leaders
About Brenda:
Brenda's career in technology spans working in many industries and roles, including a startup and large hyperscale companies including IBM and most recently Google. Huge passion for infrastructure, hard work and growing large teams who deploy, support and maintain through the entire technology life cycle resulted in growth opportunities for promotion to regional director at Google Data Centers. This included responsibilities for a substantial portion of Google's worldwide capacity. Cares deeply about creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for those most underrepresented in technology related roles, with many of her own experiences being the “only one” in leadership roles.
