Ryan Carson, CEO of Treehouse, on building a diverse tech talent pipeline

A while ago, we from 'Here She Is' realized that in order to move the needle on diversity and inclusion, we have to get men on the table. Today we are honored to say: Here HE is: Ryan Carson. Ryan is the Co-Founder of Treehouse, which he founded together with his wife to bridge the tech talent gap with diverse talent and open the door to a successful career for thousands. In 2016 he signed the Diversity Pledge and in the process realized that his company was ‘majority white male’. Today he helps other companies gain a strategic advantage through building diverse tech talent from the ground.Listen to a conversation about the privileges of a white, able-bodied, tall, male born in times of peace, how to acquire a mentor through a streamlined sales process, why you should embrace sales from day one and why hard skills are way overrated in the workplace.

Our joint conclusion for life and work? Women undersell themselves, don't think big enough, and don't line up enough support.
