Ep. 17 Breaking the Glass Ceiling/Inspiring Women Leaders in Tech Startups with Jeanette Dorazio
Jeanette Dorazio, CEO of Leadpages, a no-code website and landing page builder. She has had various executive-level positions at leading organizations, including Oracle, 8thBridge, Verifone, and Solera.

In episode 17, Jeanette lays out how to reach the next level of your leadership career. She shares 3 lessons gained through her journey: knowing what is happening in the market, which she calls “outside in” because “nothing important happens in the office,” listening first and understanding all sides before communicating, and finally, understanding how to interpret data.
Her main piece of advice is to lean into your strength no matter what the judgements might be. With this advice, you will succeed in reaching the next level of your leadership journey.
