Shippo Celebrates #InternationalWomensDay 2017

A spotlight of the talented women on the Shippo team

“If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is: who cares?” -Tina Fey

Laura Behrens Wu, co-founder & CEO

“It’s hard to define the single biggest issue for women at work. One challenge I recognize is that not all women always have a good mentorship network at work. All of my mentors are male but I have built a strong network of female peers.”

Admired women leaders: Michelle Obama and Sheryl Sandberg

Sin-Mei Tsai, VP of Engineering

“Follow your heart and be unstoppable. Network, make friends and ask for help. You deserve everything you work for.”

Kristen Turner, Product Manager

“I've always had a soft spot for baller art school presidents who are actually real estate moguls. I'm talking about Paula Wallace, co-founder and president of the Savannah College of Art & Design and Elisa Stephens, president of the Academy of Art University. (My mountains of student debt haven't diminished my admiration.)”

May Feng, Head of Human Resources

“Speak up for yourself and those around you. I often find it easier to speak up in support of others, especially those who do not feel empowered to do so.”

Daria Lamberson, Engineer

“I’ve studied dance for most of my life, including some time spent at the School of American Ballet and San Francisco Ballet.”

Unofficial female hero: Daria from the MTV TV show

Mallory Roberts, Office Manager

"Be yourself no one can ever tell you you're doing it wrong" - Snoopy

Shan Lian, Product Marketing Manager

“This quote from Shippo’s VP of Engineering, Sin-Mei Tsai, really resonates with me. ‘Since there were fewer women studying Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, it was clear that all of us were there by choice. I found the concept of being able to choose quite liberating.’

The concept of being to choose is important to me, which is why I appreciate her comment.”

Diana Chiu, Visual Designer

"Practice with detachment and awareness. Practice with style and commitment. Practice love and patience. Practice and become that which has always been your potential." - my Saturday afternoon yoga teacher, Cecily Guest

Sarah Richards, Office Manager

“Female heroes: Michelle Obama, Alice Water, and always my mom…”

Katrina Razavi, Director of Business Development

“From my female hero, Oprah Winfrey. ‘Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.’”

Nikita Patwari, Visual Designer

“As Michelle Obama - my hero - says, ‘There is no limit to what we as women can accomplish.’”

Joany Gao, Engineering Intern

“Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.” - Harper Lee

Rebekah Daniels, Customer Support Rep

"Proud mom of six! Hope to teach my five daughters that they are each talented and passionate in their own unique way. Their success will not be measured by what they do but by who they are!"

Amanda Jaramillo, Customer Support Rep

"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples" - Mother Teresa

Helen Phung, Director of Public Relations

“Help women around you. Share advice and your best trade secrets. Go out of your way to make introductions. Make things happen for others when you can.”
