Women In Tech: What It Takes To Succeed - Jo Gaines

While they’re making tonnes of strides in the right direction now, tech has unfortunately been a largely male dominated industry. Whether it’s through a stubborn stigma or lack of support for women in these careers, many capable girls have been turned away from pursuing these jobs. But it doesn’t have to be like this. Jo Gaines, Area Vice President of Sales for Salesforce, has heaps to say about this. In this webinar, Jo shares her story and explains what’s helped her find success after success in the tech industry. Prior to joining Krux (which was acquired by Salesforce in November 2016), she served as chief revenue officer at Brandscreen, an independent demand-side platform. At CBS Interactive, she was in charge of Australian consumer brands as general manager, consumer and CBSi. She has also held senior sales and marketing positions at Kidspot, iPrime and Yahoo!7 among other firms. Jo also launched and served as CEO of Digital Media Options Pty, Ltd, a digital media consultancy specializing in optimizing and monetizing digital assets for brands.
