 From San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering Girls in Tech Catalyst Conference, brought to you by Girls in Tech. Hey, welcome back everybody, Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're in downtown San Francisco at the Girls in Tech Catalyst Conference 2018, about 700 professionals, mainly women, a couple of men, a couple of bus loads of younger people coming in to get inspired. And we're excited to be here. It's a single track event, two days, probably 20 presentations per day of people really sharing their story. And we're excited to have Diane Capello, she's the lead solutions engineer from Clary, just before you get to do your talk, right? Exactly, yes. So welcome. Thank you. So what you're talking to be on? I'm leading a panel on the topic of innovation. So we've got four amazing women, two co-founders, two product managers. Okay, so clearly diversity of opinion, diversity of thought, diversity of point of view, diversity of problem solving, it's a huge piece of the innovation game. Absolutely. And so that was the challenge for me is with this broad set of speakers, how do you tie it together in a theme? So we're focusing on emerging technologies. So AI, big data, number crunching. Right. So it seems to me the solution to innovation, one of the solutions, there's a couple of simple things. One is kind of just give more people access to the data, give more people access to the tools, to manipulate the data, and then give more people to access to actually do something once they get the data out of the tools on top of the data, so they can actually be empowered to make change. And a lot of companies never have done that in the past, but really with the democratization of the data, the tools, and hopefully the control, that's one of the big engines that we see. What do you think? That's absolutely the key. So we are thinking of it in the reverse in our panel, what's the problem that you're trying to solve, and then how can you leverage big data and these emerging technologies to solve that problem in the real world? Right. So how do you, in your day-to-day life, how do you make sure that you guys are staying innovative? How do you make sure that the quiet voice in the back actually gets heard, or the person that doesn't necessarily have the social capital, or the title capital, or whatever the capital is to make an influence that that voice gets added to the conversation? So that's my role as a lead solutions engineer is to listen. The number one thing we do when we meet a customer is listen to the problems that they're experiencing, and then listen to the goals that they have, the objectives that they want, the outcomes, and then we think about how can we meet their need with the technology. So number one thing for lead solutions engineer and for anyone else in tech is listen to your customers. You don't just stand up in front and tell them all the great stuff that you do? I would love to. I could talk all day. No, it's so funny, right? Because so many people, that's what they do. Instead, they don't listen. They're so excited, and I think especially in a product management role, you see it a lot, where people are just so excited, so passionate about the things that they built, that sometimes that's all they want to do is just tell that story, and maybe more of the story than the customer needs to hear, is ready to hear, cares about hearing, but really it's listening. That's a more important skill. Yep, I mean, we have seven modules in our product. If I showed you all seven, yes, you would find something of value there, but it would be so much more valuable for your time and mine if I showed you that one thing in the context of what you want to do with it. So shifting gears a little bit, have you been to Catalyst before? This is my second one. I'm really excited to come back two years in a row. Can't wait to come next year. So I'm just curious from a professional point of view, where do you see the value? Obviously you're excited, now you're participating. To take a minute out of your day job, we're all busy, we have too many emails and too many meetings and too many calls, but to really kind of take a break from that and come and spend a day and spend time on the panel, how do you find that valuable? For me, it's all about career development. I'm making connections, I'm learning so much. I got to speak to Parker Harris this morning about AI and applied AI. I would never have had that opportunity if I stayed at my desk. Yeah, feel great. So good luck on your panel. Thank you. And we'll be watching, and hopefully you'll get some good questions. She's Diana, I'm Jeff. You're watching theCUBE from Calis 2018. Thanks for watching.
