Talking About Women in Tech - Diversity and Data with Dr Coleen Tartow of Starburst Data

I was recently called out for not having enough women on the podcast, and it is a very fair criticism. Out of the last 34 interviews I have done over the last year, only 2 have been with women. Today we are going to talk diversity and data.

Women are underrepresented in technology. It can be a difficult career path for women and the underrepresented people. Today we are going to be talking about diversity, equity and inclusion in technology and how that impacts the things we build, and at the center of that is data.

While this stuff isn’t rocket science, today we have gone ahead and found us an actual rocket scientist to help us understand all of this. Dr. Coleen Tartow has a Ph.D. In astrophysics and is the Director of Engineering at Starburst Data, which provides a storage free data access solution that allows people to access data where it lives.
