125. Rewriting the Operating System of Tech - with Emily van Putten
In this episode, Rick and Oscar talk with Emily van Putten, a tech leader, Microsoft MVP, TEDx speaker, and founder of the mission-driven initiative Beleeve. She explains how her gender transition exposed bias embedded in the tech industry’s operating system, where unchanged expertise suddenly required extra validation. By contrasting legacy pyramid hierarchies with flatter, self-steering architectures and sharing initiatives like Beleeve and the Women in IT Gala, she advocates for a people-first tech ecosystem.
