"My advice to women in tech, and women who want to start their own companies, is to be joyful and passionate – maybe some people will call these 'feminine' traits – but don't allow people to convince you that you are on the wrong path... You need to tap into what might be conventionally perceived as a strong masculine drive but hold on to and highlight what might be conventionally perceived as feminine enthusiasm." -Forbes
