Hayley Leibson

Hayley is a technologist and inclusion advocate in the tech industry. She is the founder of Lady in Tech, an award-winning tech and lifestyle brand dedicated to inspiring women to become technologists, creatives, and entrepreneurs. She shares the stories of entry and mid-level women in tech, hoping that these relatable and accomplished ladies will empower the next generation to enter the industry. Hayley believes in the importance of inclusion and diversity work because tech plays such a crucial role in the future of humanity. As she puts it, “we must work toward creating a future where the people who imagine and build technology mirror the people and societies for whom they build it.” Outside of her inclusion and diversity work, Hayley writes a column for Forbes and consults startups in the Bay Area. She also moonlights as an organizer and community builder for various women in tech organizations in the Bay Area. Hayley’s hard work is inspired by the belief that the best way to make a positive impact on the world is through building technology.
