Shownotes

In this season, we're shining a spotlight on the trailblazers in the tech industry, both established veterans and emerging talents, who are pushing the boundaries of innovation. I'm your host, Ceci Fischer-Benitez, and together, we'll explore their successes, understand the challenges they've faced, and dive into the unique experiences that have guided their tech careers. 

We're kicking off 2024 with Yoetzin Diaz, a product marketing manager whose career took an exciting and unexpected turn towards the intersection of technology and construction. Yoetzin shares with us her early dreams of becoming an architect, her experiences of cultural adaptation, and the pivotal role of continuous learning and curiosity.

We cover  the influence of innovative technologies like drones, AI, and AR in revolutionizing the construction industry, reshaping it from the ground up. Yoetzin's personal narrative of embracing change and her enthusiasm for technological advancements in an old-school industry offer insights into the dynamic nature of construction technology.

Yaotzin reflects on the challenges of shifting to a marketing role without a traditional background in the field and how she navigated gender dynamics in a predominantly male industry. Through her story, we share advice for those from underrepresented groups looking to break into the field and emphasize the importance of mentorship, believing in yourself, and giving back to the community.
