I'm a feature, not a bug! by Susie Felber at the DACHfest 2018

I’m older, I’m a woman, and I have kids. I also came to tech from the entertainment world. These differences are what helped me craft a unique offering in our app, and speak to it with passion and authority. This is the true story of how the feature was created—and how it recently went viral.

This experience connected me to a wider world of women in tech who all share a common frustration with health and fitness apps—why are we the afterthought?

This is also the story of raising up other people, and how we can help fellow employees shine by celebrating who they are, and not forcing them into what looks or sounds right. From hiring people with disabilities to allowing truly flexible work, this is the story of how to attract and retain great people. When you take a chance on differences, the truth is you’re really just filling in gaping holes that exist in your business plan.
