Listen "Real Technologists: Caroline Wong"
Episode Synopsis
My first exposure to Caroline Wong was in 2021. It was the height of the pandemic lockdowns, and we were brought together virtually, to discuss mentoring in technology. I was instantly drawn to her focus on happiness and on avoiding toxicity. She's wicked smart, having received a degree in electrical engineering and computer science from UC Berkeley. When you meet her, when you hear her, it's no wonder she is currently the Chief Strategy Officer at Cobalt, a firm focused on PenTesting as a service. While all this sounds like a natural fit, Caroline's journey is filled with twists, turns, courage, and fate. Caroline was born and raised in San Francisco, the daughter of Chinese immigrants. Her mother was a trained biologist turned a stay-at-home mom. Her parents wanted only the best for their daughter. They taught her from an early age that college was not a choice. It was a natural next step. Expectations were set including her father insisting on her taking the most difficult engineering program available.
