President & Co-Founder of CloudFlare, Michelle Zatlyn

I loved speaking with Michelle Zatlyn, Co-founder, President & COO of CloudFlare.
We dove into:
- How she went from being scared to confidently pursuing an opportunity which changed her career trajectory
- The strategies she uses to gain respect and hold power when she’s the only woman in the room
- Her journey returning to work after her 2nd child and how she navigates work and her family
She's such a legend and I learned so much from her.
