Early Praise
Chief in Tech: Empowering Women to Lead in Technology
In Chief in Tech: How Women are Breaking the Silicon Ceiling and Leading with Impact, Anna Radulovski delivers a powerful blueprint for women aiming to excel in the tech industry. The book shines a light on the challenges women face in technology and provides a road map for breaking through the figurative “silicon ceiling.” In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, diversity and inclusion are more than just ideals – they’re imperatives. Chief in Tech answers this call by equipping women with the strategies, mindset, and community support to rise to the top and lead with confidence and impact.
Inspired by influential works like Lean In, How Women Rise, The Making of a Manager, and Adventures of Women in Tech, Chief in Tech emerges as the next must-read for anyone passionate about women’s leadership in STEM. This comprehensive resource tackles critical topics head-on – from practical career advice for women in tech and effective female leadership strategies to the nuances of advancing women’s careers in technology. It also confronts systemic issues such as the well-documented “broken rung” phenomenon that often stalls women’s progress from mid-level roles to senior management. By addressing both the structural barriers in the tech industry and personal growth challenges, the book offers a 360-degree approach to empowering women in tech.
If you’ve been inspired by trailblazers like Sheryl Sandberg, Sally Helgesen, Minda Harts, Tarah Wheeler, or Julie Zhuo, consider Chief in Tech your next essential read. It builds upon the conversations started by these leaders and integrates them into a singular, actionable guide. Beyond just advice, Chief in Tech also fosters a sense of community – inviting readers to join a vibrant network of women and allies committed to inclusivity, mentorship, and mutual support. The result is more than a book; it’s a movement to redefine tech leadership with women at the forefront.

Who Should Read This Book?
Chief in Tech is written for a wide audience of readers who are passionate about driving change in technology. You will find this book especially valuable if you are:
An aspiring or current female leader in tech – determined to break glass ceilings and lead boldly in your organization or industry.
A tech professional seeking leadership skills – anyone in the tech sector (of any gender) who wants to develop as a leader, expand your influence, and understand how to support diversity in tech.
An organization or ally committed to diversity – managers, HR leaders, mentors, and male allies will gain insight into how to support and promote women in technology, fostering more innovative and inclusive teams.
Why Now?
Chief in Tech isn’t just a book – it’s a timely movement. Despite slow but steady progress, women today still hold only about 12% of C-suite positions in STEM fields and roughly 25% of technical roles globally. The tech industry cannot reach its full potential while so much talent remains underrepresented at the top. Now is the time to close this gap.
If you’re ready to:
Close the leadership gap – by confidently negotiating for higher pay, promotions, and the recognition you deserve.
Build your influence – by crafting a personal brand that opens doors and positions you as an authority in your field.
Claim your seat at the table – by stepping up into boardrooms, driving change on important issues, and paying it forward to empower others as you advance.
…then Chief in Tech is the guide for you. This book will arm you with the knowledge and inspiration to accelerate your career right now. (It also makes the perfect gift for a friend, colleague, or mentee who aspires to lead and make an impact in tech!)
