## Resource

Join us on The HumanizeHer Podcast for a powerful and candid conversation with Nidhi Gupta , a trailblazing leader with a chemical engineering background who rose to become a Chief Technology & Product Officer - then ventured out to create her own business and become a Co-Founder and CEO! Nidhi shares her incredible journey from growing up in India, where she was one of just a few women in her engineering class, to navigating pervasive biases and microaggressions in the tech industry. She reveals how these experiences fueled her passion to create SheTO.org , a non-profit dedicated to accelerating women's leadership in engineering. This episode is packed with unfiltered insights on: Overcoming adversity: How early experiences of bias shaped her resilience and grit The emotional side of impact: Why she prioritizes supporting one life over just chasing big numbers The unexpected challenges of funding a non-profit: Debunking myths about corporate and investor support for mission-driven organizations Building a thriving community: How SheTO's programs achieve remarkable promotion rates for women in tech A White House invitation: The surreal moment she realized her work is being recognized at the highest level. Nidhi's story is a raw and inspiring testament to creating change, fostering community, and finding soulful fulfillment beyond traditional corporate success. Join the conversation with host, Erica Lockheimer and co-host, Elizabeth Wendorf-Bloesser .
