Program Manager @ Reboot Representation Tech Coalition
Callista Chen
The Reboot Representation Tech Coalition is a partnership of 18 leading tech companies who have committed over $12M to close the gender gap in tech for Black, Latina, and Native American (BLNA) women. Reboot spun out of a research report published jointly in September 2018 by McKinsey & Company and Pivotal Ventures, Melinda French Gates’ investment and incubation company.
Reboot is leveraging the power and impact of coordinated, corporate philanthropic efforts and influence to efficiently work towards parity across the tech sector and has a specific goal of doubling the number of BLNA women receiving computing bachelor’s degrees by 2025. Through measurable, collective action and pooled resources, Reboot is investing in programs and initiatives that focus on recruitment and retention of Black, Latina, and Native American women in computing.
The Coalition is led by a CEO, Senior Director of Programs, and Program Manager, who source and craft grant-investment proposals for the approval of the Coalition’s member companies, oversee all operations (including communications and impact measurement & evaluation work), and manage relationships with the Coalition's members. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a small, high-performing team working at the intersection of tech, philanthropy, higher education, and gender/racial equity.
