Girls Who Code and Marshall Plan for Moms founder Reshma Saujani encouraged students to address social problems with entrepreneurship and advocate for equity in the workforce as a speaker for Stanford’s Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders (ETL) series on Wednesday.

Ravi Belani ’97 M.S. ’98, adjunct management science and engineering lecturer, moderated the conversation, which was held via Zoom and live-streamed on YouTube. Belani organizes the ETL series, which consists of recorded content from MS&E 472, a one-unit course that features leaders in entrepreneurship and innovation.
