Caroline Wong, Cobalt | CloudNOW Awards 2017
Caroline Wong, Cobalt, sits down with Lisa Martin at the 6th Annual ClowdNOW Awards 2017 #CloudNOWAwards #theCUBE https://siliconangle.com/2017/12/18/cloudnow-winners-show-many-faces-of-women-in-tech-topwomenincloud-womenintech/ CloudNOW winners show many faces of women in tech What is it about women who not only nab jobs but achieve excellence in technology? Silicon Valley’s sexist company cultures are practically a meme thanks to the stream of corroborating headlines. For women techies to advance despite this, they must be one-in-a-million mega STEM wonders, right? One winner at the CloudNOW 6th Annual Top 10 Women in Cloud Innovation Awards begs to differ. “I don’t think there’s anything so special about any of the women that won awards tonight,” said Caroline Wong (pictured), vice president of security strategy at Cobalt Labs Inc. In fact, most of the award winners are not extraordinary in anyway, nor did they overcome any extreme barriers to success, she added. Wong spoke with Lisa Martin (@LuccaZara), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the award ceremony in Mountain View, California. This week, theCUBE spotlights Caroline Wong, along with five other CloudNOW Women in Cloud Innovation Award winners, in our Women in Tech feature. Watch the complete video interview with Wong below:
