At Girl Geek X Elevate, Cathy Polinsky (CTO, Stitch Fix) cut her teeth at companies like Salesforce, Yahoo!, Oracle and Amazon before blazing a trail into the public markets at Stitch Fix. Lucky for us, Cathy shares what she’s learned along the way -- on hiring top talent while maintaining high EQ, managing down and – more importantly – up, and a ton of practical advice from the battlefield.

More than 250 girl geeks attended the Stitch Fix Girl Geek dinner for an inspiring evening of conversation with women from their Technology & Data Science teams, with talks focused on how partnership impacts their product, technology and culture. Speakers included Cathy Polinsky (CTO), Emma Colner (Software Engineer), Anna Schneider (Data Science Manager), Erin Boyle (Data Scientist), Bingrui Tang (Senior UX Designer), and Erin Dees (Principal Software Engineer). Recorded at Stitch Fix HQ in San Francisco on May 7, 2019.
