Before I joined Twitter, I was asked, “How can we find the best place for you within the company that brings your unique skills and experiences to the forefront?”
As a senior manager of software engineering who is building out a distributed team, I’ve found that asking the same question supports diversity and professional growth.
My background and personal experiences have not only shaped who I am, but have also played a formative role in my view of – and passion for – diversity. I was born and raised in Colombia. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to live in several countries, including the United States, and experiencing these different cultures has played a large role in who I am today, and has made me genuinely value the meaning of diversity.
