Big day! When we created the #BrilliantBlackMinds program, we knew that doubling the # of Black engineers in tech would be a bold goal. Crystal Moore is joining Karat to help scale this movement -- strengthening our partnerships with orgs who have long been committed to this work

I can think of no better org to donate to on this #GivingTuesday than Ada Dev Academy. 95+% of students get jobs as FT software engineers upon completion, with an avg salary increase of ~150% vs before the program. + the industry gets built in a more equitable, representative way.

Check out my Karat co-founder mobhende's predictions for 2023 – with thoughts around DEI, the recruiting model (and what must change), & the need to focus on candidates’ ability to learn (vs. skills/pedigree). Great read!

Loved the The Wall Street Journal article about the psychology of penalty shots. I know I’m not the only one who wondered why Croatia’s players coolly made theirs while Japan missed, or why Spain failed on all 3 of its kicks. Applies to many high-stakes scenarios! #WorldCup linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

When Jeffrey Spector and Mohit Bhende founded Karat, they had two goals: be successful and serve a purpose. A decade into building their company, they still say the biggest lesson they’ve learned is that success and purpose were actually one goal. nvp.co/3GEIXxR

It’s hard to believe that after nearly 25 years, today is my last day of work at the Gates Foundation. I want to extend an extra special thank you to foundation colleagues & alumni for all they’ve taught me over the years & for all the ways they’re carrying this work forward. ❤
