Understanding and Supporting Gender Identities and Expressions
My awesome, funny, and inspiring guest this time is Natalie Egan, CEO & Founder of Translator, Inc., where she and her team are on a mission to scale empathy and equality through technology.
Natalie is an openly transgender, B2B software entrepreneur and a recognized thought leader living her life at the intersection of technology and Diversity & Inclusion. Natalie has over 20 years of experience driving digital change, developing high-performing teams, building complex products, and selling enterprise solutions.
Today’s HRchat episode includes Natalie’s journey and ways leaders and colleagues can better support folks with a wide range of gender identities and expressions, including people who identify as transgender, gender-nonconforming or non-binary, and much more.
