In this episode we chat with Karen Egan, the VP of Advanced Customer Engagement with VMware.
Karen chats about her early life, her love of maths, her time in UCC and the challenge of having a baby at that time and her early career moves that took her to a software company in the UK, and to Apple and Motorola in Ireland.
We chat about her career success, her huge role with VMware and the challenges of managing in a huge multicultural company with a global presence.
We talk about VMware, the importance of STEAM and not STEM, gender and life balance, embracing diversity and how to keep large teams of people motivated and engaged.
As Karen says, it is about 90% attitude and 10% aptitude.
