Red Hat and Discover invite anyone eager to join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking panel discussion with a group of executive women who have thrived in the technology industry. Together, we’ll lean into their unique journeys and lessons learned as they share their personal stories, strategies, and insights on how they navigated challenges and used their experiences to advance their careers and empower others.
