Breaking the Tech Ceiling
Welcome to Breaking the Tech Ceiling – A podcast about how women are disrupting preconceptions about what Tech Executives look and sound like.
I’m Michelle Ji-Yeun Kim, a strategy & operations leader with over 15 years of experience in the tech industry. I’ll interview VP and C level women in Go To Market roles such as Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Product who have been executives at tech startups, unicorns, and consultancies as well as large companies like Google, Zendesk, and others. Join me the first Tuesday of every month as I explore THEIR path into executive leadership, their current aspirations, and practical advice they have for mid to late career women to continue Breaking the Tech Ceiling.

If you’re interested in joining me on my journey, please follow and download episodes the first Tuesday of every month on Spotify, Apple, or at www.breakingthetechceiling.com.

Breaking the Tech Ceiling
Jen Igartua, CEO @ Go Nimbly
The first episode of Breaking the Tech Ceiling is now live, featuring Jen Igartua! We discuss her chronotype, how she went from Marketing Automation Consultant at Bluewolf to CEO of GoNimbly (a Revenue Operations firm), and how generalists make the best executives.
“There’s enough room for all of us, if we make the space.” ⬅️ Jen’s statement encapsulates why I started this podcast. So many of us are conditioned to operate in a scarcity mindset when the reality is that we can make space and opportunities for each other. I hope this episode will encourage women to be courageous in their careers and for allies, mentors, and sponsors to continue investing in the next generation of leaders.
See below for some of the resources Jen mentions in the interview:
- Sunsama - Digital planner
- Caveday.org - Company that teaches productivity and focus (their ethos: how to have a good relationship with work)
