Making Her Mark in the STEM World: A Conversation with Atipica CEO and Founder Laura Gomez

 

WHEN: Tuesday, March 16 @ 2 p.m.

At 17, when the formerly undocumented immigrant first obtained a work permit, she took an internship with Hewlett-Packard. Seeing no one like her in the workplace, she instantly wanted out but her mother encouraged her to stay. Gomez would go on to work as one of the only Latinas at Google and YouTube, and became a founding member of Twitter’s International Team. In 2015, Gomez founded Atipica, a recruiting software start-up that uses artificial and human intelligence to help companies make bias-free decisions when hiring employees.
