Great job opportunities at Mira 👇 Sylvia Kang and Katherine Sakovich are the best people to work with!

Six months in San Francisco, what a whirlwind! 🌉 Moving here has been an incredible adventure, filled with inspiring people, exciting projects, and unforgettable experiences. Standout moments I’m especially grateful for: 🚀 Presenting our team’s Flight Trust Solutions to Expedia Group during the business challenge, an amazing experience alongside my brilliant teammates, Ritu and Rafael. 🎤 Moderating our Product Management Power Hour Panel last week! Huge thanks to Michael, Luca, Adrien, and Hannah for sharing their invaluable insights. 🏞️ Hiking Angel Island with fellow Active Hult students on a stunning January day! Safe to say I don’t miss Amsterdam weather! 💡 Attending many incredible events! Special shout out to those hosted by Dasha, with Women Tech Meetup, these events always create incredible positive energy. At the latest event on Future Trends in Investing 2025, one quote stood out to me: “The best way to predict the future is to fund it”. A hopeful reminder that we shape what’s ahead! So, what’s next? Who knows, but I’m excited for what’s to come! 😉 🌱 Upcoming projects: I’m teaming up with my partner-in-crime, Anna, to bring exciting events to Hult, starting with a Jobs in Climate Tech event and collaborations with other fantastic partners! If you have an impactful project, event, or idea you’d love to bring to Hult, or just want to connect and collaborate, reach out! Let’s make it happen. #SanFrancisco #Tech #WomenInTech #ClimateTech #ProductManagement #Networking #CareerGrowth

New year, new chapter, new design! Thank you Olga Kusterer for designing our new logo ❤️

Women Tech Meetup starting off the New Year right! Dasha Shunina got together a packed house where we shared some amazing insights from the panelists on trends (including the AI gorilla in the room), tips and suggestions on how to get into investing from and even some discussion of quantum computing to start off the questions! Anna Joo Fee of goodfin spoke to us about the importance of women investing early even in small amounts, Lisa Yu and I discussed how women can diversify their investment strategy by investing in funds as LPs, Rosana R. and I chatted about her path to working in house at a family office and their goal to invest in impact health care companies, and Subha R. had excellent takes on numerous topics, including robotics, the AI gorilla and more. Great to meet new friends like Stephanie Hilborn who has such an interesting history and current practice coaching executives, Mary Beth Whyel who also has a varied history, but is a badass Chief of Staff looking for a new role and Adell Hanson-Kahn, founder of an AI-assisted management coaching tool with Interpersonal, Inc. and to reconnect with old friends like Sandy Li!

𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! I was so inspired after my first conversation with Avani Nagda—I just have to share her story. She isn’t waiting around for opportunities to come to her. She isn’t hiding behind a computer, submitting applications into the void. She’s out there building her network every single day. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞: 👉 She just moved to the U.S. and knew no one—so she 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠. Last month, she launched a Marketing Happy Hour that drew 120+ attendees (!!) and is already planning the next one. (Follow her to stay in the loop!) 👉 She took on a 𝙥𝙧𝙤-𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙤 𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙥—strategically. Knowing her job search might take time, she started volunteering for a startup whose ideal customers are Heads of Marketing. Now, she’s not just gaining hands-on experience in social, email, SMS, events, and paid media—she’s also building relationships with the exact people she wants to work with. That’s next-level thinking! 👉 She’s 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮. She’s not afraid to reach out, ask for coffee chats (that’s how we met!), and most importantly—she’s leading with value. She’s not just asking for help; she’s offering insights, ideas, and connections in return. It’s clear to me that Avani Nagda is going to land somewhere amazing very soon. If you’re job searching, take a page from her playbook. Get out there. Build your network. Put yourself in the right rooms. I promise it will pay off.
