Karen Catlin is a passionate advocate for inclusion in the workplace.

In addition to speaking herself, Karen is determined to bring more diversity to speaker lineups at tech industry events. To support this goal, she coauthored Present! A Techie's Guide to Public Speaking with Poornima Vijayashanker. In 2014, Karen started the Twitter handle @betterallies to share simple, actionable steps that anyone could take to make their workplace more inclusive. That Twitter handle became the inspiration for her books, Better Allies: Everyday Actions to Create Inclusive, Engaging Workplaces and The Better Allies(TM) Approach to Hiring. She continues to tweet and blog for Better Allies and emails a roundup of 5 Ally Actions to her subscribers every week. Karen is a graduate and active alum of Brown University, serving as an advisor to the university's Computer Science Diversity Initiative and mentoring students on how to launch their careers.
