When we are at a point (hopefully) of hiring for our startup, I can look at someone's CV without knowing their gender and just their background, experiences, interests and perspective - this might lead to a more balanced team, perspectives and voices.
As an inverse in my last role as Director for Digital Innovation at KPMG US, I was one of about five men in a 120 person division of Events and Meeting professionals with few people of color. It was an odd feeling to be part of a small and separate group from the pack, even if an Ashkenazi male of European heritage. It is interesting that certain fields have concentrations of one gender and race versus another.
Thanks for sharing.
