Is it safe to be your authentic self at work? On my writing journey, I was determined to find Latina women who transcended the deep-seated ancestral and cultural fear that often prevents many in our community from showing up authentically, as who we truly are. This fear of showing up authentically can cause us to hold back our potential, depriving ourselves of the chance to become the best versions of ourselves (because too much energy can go into trying to hide or change who we are), and even more significantly, we can deprive our country and society of the very valuable contributions we have to offer! Monica Marquez, a courageous leader I deeply admire, fully embraced her authentic self and redirected her energy from trying to change or hide her greatness, to leveraging it to create large-scale impact supporting the growth of other women through her company, Beyond Barriers. Thank you, dear Monica, for being YOU and inspiring us to give ourselves that same freedom of authenticity! ********* I can’t wait for you to get to know more about her journey in my upcoming book! #risingtogethermovement #uncolonizedlatinas #latinasimparables #unbeatablelatinas #speaker #author #latinaauthor #hispanicheritagemonth #keynotespeaker #bookauthor #BeARebel

Another year, another incredible Lesbians Who Tech & Allies Summit! It was a privilege to share how CrowdStrike leverages the power of Threat Hunting and Threat Intelligence to disrupt adversaries. I also had the pleasure of welcoming this year’s SQUAD Leadership Cohort and serving as an emcee for other insightful talks. A heartfelt thank you to Toni Munoz, the Beyond Barriers team, and everyone who attended my session! #LesbiansWhoTech #Queerintech #threatintelligence #threathunting

I don’t post on LinkedIn often, but the past week has been momentous both professionally and personally. I celebrated my 6th anniversary at Airbnb, attended the inspiring Lesbians Who Tech & Allies Summit in NYC, and received some exciting news about my current role (more on that soon). On top of it all, I’m preparing to embark on some wonderful adventures thanks to Airbnb’s "Live and Work Anywhere" program. More importantly, I want to use this time to express my gratitude: Ben Breit: You are an exceptional leader. Thank you for championing my work and my team’s efforts, and for making Airbnb’s Global Crisis Management Program the powerhouse it is today. Anya Fleischer, Aubrey Larson, and Josh Jones: My brilliant GCM leadership peers—you’re not just colleagues, you’re extraordinary humans, and I’m honored to share this journey with you every day. Stephanie Loader: My phenomenal leadership coach, whose wisdom and unwavering support have been pivotal to my growth and confidence. Lesbians Who Tech & Allies: Thank you for creating a space where I feel truly seen, valued, and at home. You brought together some of the most inspiring innovators and leaders, including the incredible team from Beyond Barriers, whose leadership sessions were profoundly insightful. I’m feeling more inspired and grateful than ever as I step into this next chapter!

🌟 Just wrapped up an incredible week at the Lesbians Who Tech & Allies 2024 #LWTSummit conference in New York City! This event was an amazing opportunity to dive deep into some of the most relevant trends in business, technology, and culture, with thought leaders from across industries sharing invaluable insights. 🚀 From transformative conversations on the future of tech, to exploring how we can build more inclusive workplaces, I walked away energized and inspired. I was also thrilled to be a part of the SQUAD Leadership Program, which provided a fantastic opportunity to build leadership skills alongside a very impressive ~120-person cohort. The experience deepened my understanding of what it means to lead with impact and authenticity. But what truly made this experience remarkable was the community — connecting with brilliant, passionate individuals who are driving innovation and change. It reminded me of the power of collaboration, support, and lifting each other up. 💡✨ Grateful for the knowledge gained, and looking forward to bringing these learnings back to my team at Stanford GSB Executive Education. Let’s continue pushing boundaries and building the future together! 💪🏳️‍🌈 Special thanks to Leanne Pittsford, Toni Munoz, Andrea Medina, Angela Fogarty Thomas, and Beyond Barriers. #LesbiansWhoTech #InclusionMatters

I’m excited to share that I’ve recently graduated from the Beyond Barriers accelerator program! 🎉 This program has been an incredible experience, designed to empower women to go further, faster. I made the decision to invest in myself to keep progressing while between development programs at work, and I’m so glad I did. After learning about the vision of the founders and listening to their podcast, I knew Beyond Barriers was the right path for me. Thank you, Brooke Skinner Ricketts, Laura Ricketts, Nikki Barua, and Monica Marquez for creating and nurturing this idea into something truly special. And thank you, Jaci Czarnecki Thompson, for your support and encouragement. The growth, insights, and connections I’ve gained along the way have been invaluable, and I’m deeply appreciative of the support and wisdom shared by my fellow participants and the inspiring coaches. I’m excited to continue putting everything I’ve learned into practice. I can’t wait to see what’s next on this journey of continuous growth! 🚀 #BeyondBarriers #WomenInLeadership #ContinuousImprovement #Grateful #ProfessionalGrowth
