In this episode of The Intersection Series, Aarti Shah talks with two influential tech leaders about justice, race, gender and how Silicon Valley is (or is not) responding to these challenges. Tale of Two Tech Sectors - Apolitical vs Equitable asks Charles Hudson, Managing Partner and Founder of Precursor Ventures and Syreeta Mussante, EVP of B2B & Enterprise tech at Praytel questions like: Can a company be both equitable and apolitical? Is the chasm between those who see silicon valet as a meritocracy and those who are willing to call out its inequalities getting larger?
The discussion includes valuable insights from Hudson and Mussante as people of color in Silicon Valley. They provide an inside perspective on how big tech responded with recent racial reckonings in America and what companies can or can’t accomplish in this realm. Both discuss challenges working in places where not many peers look like them and the balance between friends who may say the wrong things and the larger systems which led those friends to unknowingly say biased things.
This video conversation features the following panelists:
- Charles Hudson, Managing Partner and Founder of Precursor Ventures
- Syreeta Mussante, EVP of B2B & Enterprise tech at Praytel
- Aarti Shah, Past PRovoke Executive Editor (moderator)
