When did you become interested in technology? What first got you interested in tech?
I grew up in a family with two incredibly intelligent and successful brothers and a wonderful sister who has a range of hearing, speech, and learning disabilities. Those who are neurodiverse understand the kinds of challenges she faced, and the kinds of pressure she experienced trying to reach the bar set by society and family.
She was unable to finish high school, and struggled to keep internships and short-term jobs. She was becoming increasingly isolated the older we got. Then about 20 years ago, technology just completely transformed her life. She got a laptop and was able to engage with games and programs, and communicate with the external world in a way that had been impossible before, because of her hearing and speech disabilities.
Now, she’s a successful, confident saleswoman, who thrives because she’s authentic and because technology platforms have enabled her to communicate about the product and with customers. Watching her improvement was what led to my interest in technology. I wanted to invest the rest of my career and life in something that can genuinely transform people’s lives, like it did my sister.
