| Summary: |
Pioneering Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor Magdalena Yesil came to the United States in 1976 with two suitcases and $43, blind to the challenges she would face as a woman and an immigrant in Silicon Valley. Today, she is best known as the first investor and a founding board member of Salesforce, the now multi-billion-dollar company that ushered in the era of cloud-based computing. In Power Up, Yesil shares not just her own insight but that of more than two dozen top women entrepreneurs on topics such as: owning career choices while managing risk, getting credit for your work, and recruiting allies in the movement toward a supportive workplace for everyone. |
