S02E25: Limor Bergman - Helping women not just survive but thrive in "the boys club".

Hey! I Want Your Job!

Limor Bergman managed to work her way to Director of Engineering despite all the odds being stacked against her as both a woman and an immigrant. Along the way she learned a lot of lessons about "playing the game" and when not to play it. Today she uses that hard-won knowledge to employer the next line of women in engineering. Here's what she says:

Hi, I am Limor.

I have been working in the tech industry for over 20 years as a software engineer, engineering manager, and Director of engineering.

I know firsthand what it is like being a woman in a male-dominated field.

After spending nine years living in the US, I returned to my home country and decided to focus on my passion for supporting women's career growth in tech.

I have been mentoring women for over four years and created a mentorship program for women with PowerToFly.

I also consult with companies that want to build mentorship programs or build a complete mentorship program based on the company's needs.

When I moved to the US in December 2010, I had to find a job in a new country without knowing anyone. So I had to navigate LinkedIn and figure out how to brand myself for employers and find a job.

I perfected my LinkedIn profile and was able to get multiple job opportunities without even looking for a job.

I now help women do the same and have a one-on-one coaching business and a course on LinkedIn.
