Parisa Tabriz was one of the 30 most powerful women under 30 in 2012, and she claims that the lack of women in Silicon Valley is because they put themselves down.
This woman is Google's secret weapon in its fight against hackers. Her name is Parisa Tabriz and in her youth she was a hacker herself. So she knows firsthand what she has to deal with and is the guardian angel of billions of Google Chrome users.
The 31-year-old is the female CEO in Silicon Valley with the most male subordinates, which is remarkable, since in the internet industry, only 30% of employees are women.
However, she claims that since 2007, when Google made her an offer, she has not been a victim of sexist behavior.
Tabriz was one of the 30 most powerful women under 30 in 2012, and she argues that the lack of women in Silicon Valley is because they are putting themselves down.
“The women who left tended to have a B average – and the most common reason was that they said they found it too difficult, while for men the most common grade was a C – but the reason they stayed was because they claimed they found it interesting,” she notes.
Tabriz grew up in Chicago to an Iranian father, a doctor by profession, and a Polish-American mother, who worked as a nurse.
Tabriz's job is to protect Google users from hacker attacks, such as Anonymous, by hiring hackers to protect the company.
