Diane Greene shares insight at Dreamforce conference
CS alumna Diane Greene (M.S. ’88) sat down with Ginni Rometty and Marc Benioff at the Dreamforce conference last week to talk about women leaders in tech. Greene, who is currently the CEO of Google Cloud, started out designing offshore oil structures and systems before becoming a software engineer. She founded several successful companies, most notably VMware, which created the market for virtualization. She and Rometty, who is the CEO of IBM, stand among the ranks of the tech giants of industry–almost all of whom are men. They discussed their careers, leadership philosophies, and how they approach their responsibilites as women in power.
