Description

With empowering insights to assist women navigate the narrowest corridors of sexism, tech-industry pioneer Magdalena Yesil shares on-the-ground career advice that may be as powerful as any MBA

Pioneering Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor Magdalena Yesil came to the US in 1976 with two suitcases and $43, blind to the challenges she would face as a woman and immigrant in Silicon Valley. Lately, she is best referred to as the first investor and a founding board member of Salesforce, the now-multibillion dollar company that ushered in the era of cloud-based computing.

In Power Up: How Smart Women Win in the New Economy, Yesil urges women to look beyond the alarming gender statistics of the place of business and feel confident entering tech or any field-but also to be prepared to maintain the challenges. She shares what she experienced as a woman in Silicon Valley with surprising candor and heart, relying not just on her insight but that of more than a dozen top women entrepreneurs to provide pragmatic takeaways on topics such as:

· Owning career choices whilst managing risk
· Getting credit to your work
· Managing sexual dynamics
· Recruiting allies in the movement toward a supportive place of business for everyone

Pragmatic, incisive, and full of highly actionable advice, Yesil prepares ambitious women to break glass ceilings and rise to the top in the New Silicon Valley–and beyond.
