    @MelissaKaulfuss Yes, but from what I’ve seen, you’re crushing it. I think it all comes down to credibility. If you’ve got the general tech experience and the “war stories” to speak authentically, that’s more important than specific years of DA experience.

    @guimathed They let you do it?? 😂


    It was an absolute honour to host the Advancing Women in Tech panel at #AWSSwitzerland Swiss Cloud Day with Tanuja Randery (AWS), Yvonne Bettkober (AWS), and Maja Rudinac (FemTec Health)! 🙌 https://t.co/aFZlPqkrrG


    Have you ever seen an Amazon Fire Phone in person? (@_cloudranger hadn’t!) Come find me at the #AWSSwitzerland Swiss Cloud Day Community Lounge, or pop into my session at 16:30 to hear about Amazon’s Culture of Innovation (along with some high-profile failures!). 🔥📱 https://t.co/tjgZm23B5I

    I’m in Zürich for AWS Swiss Cloud Day, and both of my sessions today were super fun! First I facilitated the Advancing Women in Tech panel with three seriously amazing women leaders – Tanuja Randery (Managing Director for AWS Europe), Yvonne Bettkober (General Manager of AWS Austria and Switzerland), and Maja Rudinac (CTO at FemTech Health). Then I presented a session on Amazon’s Culture of Innovation and got to show off my holy grail – a working Fire Phone. 😂🔥📱 Thanks to everybody who joined us today!

    @zachjonesnoel I finally got a chance to watch this – amazing! Well done, and thanks for capturing it all. ❤️


    One of our Amazon Leadership Principles is Bias for Action – like when @GunnarGrosch says “Can you help me figure out how to get a unicorn onesie in Munich for @soganmageshwar in the next 24 hours?!” 🌈 🦄❤️ #awsgameday https://t.co/el6bTUxjqG

    @rohini_gaonkar @ghumare64 @catchbox I used one at a meetup in Australia once! The challenge I found is that, well, not a lot of tech people are great at catching things thrown at them. 😂


    Happy Oktoberfest! Round 2… ❤️🍺 @ Oktoberfest https://t.co/jpKhyDgQGO
