Behind the Title: The Real Stories of Female CTOs
Friday April 25, 2025 12:30pm - 2:00pm PDT
439 8th Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109
It’s no secret—there aren’t many women in the CTO seat, and the ones who’ve made it have stories you don’t hear every day. This conversation brings together a few of Seattle’s top technical leaders to talk honestly about what it took to get there, what’s still broken, and why the title doesn’t always tell the whole story.

We’re cutting through the LinkedIn gloss to talk about real decisions, trade-offs, near-burnouts, and the power moves that mattered. Whether you’re aiming for that seat or trying to build better leadership pipelines, this is the room where we stop talking about women in tech and start listening to them.
