The site's head of product design talks about how her industry views female leaders.
At her most recent pre-Yahoo position, Nayak served as Design Director for bank giant SoFi, streamlining the company's apps and helping guide overall corporate strategy. "We must create opportunities to develop technical and soft skills with clear progression paths [and] actionable feedback that will help women then take those steps forward," she says. Even though this presidential administration has painted diversity as a bad word, especially on the collegiate level, Nayak says bringing girls and women to the forefront is not only the right thing to do, but good business sense for the entire industry — it stands to reason that a product created with the input of different minds and experiences will appeal to a larger cross-section of customers.
