Hello my beautiful Woman Inc. Listeners! My guest this week is Cathy Polinsky, a seasoned technology executive with over 20 years of industry experience and happens to be a VP of Engineering at Shopify.  Cathy was most recently the Chief Technology Officer at Stitch Fix, an online personal shopping service. Cathy helped take Stitch Fix public and led the Engineering, Product and IT organizations through rapid growth.  Prior to Stitch Fix, Cathy led a variety of engineering organizations and initiatives at Salesforce for seven years, including her role as SVP of Engineering. She also built robust, large-scale systems and led engineering teams at top companies like Amazon, Yahoo! and Oracle.  She is currently an independent board director at Aetion and graduated from Swarthmore College with a special major in computer science and is a member of the Swarthmore College Board of Managers. I am a huge Shopify fan— which I probably mentioned a hundred times in this episode, but it the platform my team and I have used to build a multimillion dollar business and I was so excited to meet the woman who is engineering much of the tech that I get to use every day. Cathy is not only brilliant, but also incredibly down to earth and my favorite part was probably talking about her role as a mom.  I hope this conversation brings you the one little bit of inspiration that you need to hear. Now, let’s get over to my conversation with Cathy.
