My daughter was 10 years old when she told me she hated computers. As someone who has spent her career helping build one of the largest tech companies in the world, I was in shock. Suddenly an issue I faced repeatedly at work - the lack of women in tech - hit squarely at home.

I spent my workdays at Skype creating a more connected world. We were shrinking the distances between people, making it easier to connect across countries.
