On this week’s 51%, we hear from a female executive at Facebook and we bring you an essay about a wall of positivity. I’m Allison Dunne and this is 51%.
Deb Liu is vice president of platform and marketplace at Facebook. As one of few female executives in technology, Liu is working to address the challenges that women in tech are facing-- both on a day-to-day basis and through a non-profit she co-created called "Women in Product.” KALW Inflection Point Host Lauren Schiller starts her conversation by asking why Liu thinks a women in product conference is important.
That was Deb Liu, vice president of platform and marketplace at Facebook, speaking with KALW Inflection Point host Lauren Schiller. Inflection Point with Lauren Schiller is produced at KALW in San Francisco. Hear Lauren's other conversations at inflectionpointradio.org.
