Listen "From flying Apache helicopters to building a future of email"
Episode Synopsis
Get ready to be inspired by Lorilyn McCue, a trailblazer whose career journey is as bold as it is unconventional. After earning a BA from West Point and an MBA from Stanford, Lorilyn spent 10 years in the military, flying Apache helicopters in Iraq and shaping the next generation of leaders as a cadet instructor at West Point. But in her early 30s, she took on an entirely new challenge: transitioning into tech. Now a leading force behind the AI roadmap at Superhuman—the email app renowned for its sleek and innovative AI features—Lorilyn is helping users save time and work smarter with tools like tone-matching email drafts and intuitive thread summaries. In this episode, Lorilyn opens up about her unique career path, how her military background shaped her resilience and adaptability, and what it’s like to break into tech later in life. She also shares her thoughts on AI’s transformative role in our everyday tools and offers advice for anyone navigating major career pivots or breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated spaces.
