As we looked through what we published in 2017 to highlight the very best knowledge shared, two things stood out to us. First, we were thrilled to feature a star-studded cast of extraordinary operators — including but not limited to Instagram CTO Mike Krieger, Facebook VP Product Fidji Simo, Reddit Co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Foursquare CEO Dennis Crowley, and Stripe COO Claire Hughes Johnson. But second, and more importantly: We ended the year featuring nearly 50-50 women and men leaders (46% women to be exact). In an industry where visibility and role models can make an enormous difference, we were happy to do our part — and motivated to do even better next year.
