<A HREF="http://www.costanoavc.com/seat-at-the-table/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Seat @ the Table</A> seeks to enable conversations and action so more women earn more seats at more tables at every level of management. Change will only happen if we continue to shine a light on the gaps that remain between men and women in positions of management. This event will bring together a range of voices: still climbing the ladder, in a position to do something about it, and advocating on others’ behalf. 
We will have open Q&A, please submit questions on Twitter using the hashtag #HerSeat.
Doors open at 5:00 pm. First 100 attendees will receive complimentary copies of “Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley” by Emily Chang.
Light appetizers and drinks will be served.

Nick Mehta, CEO @ Gainsight @nrmehta
As a huge sports fan, Nick thinks of his job as being like that of a head coach. His role is to help bring the right people together on the team and put them in the best position to win for our customers, partners, employees and their families. He's a big believer in the Golden Rule and we try to apply it as much as we can to bring more compassion to our interactions with others. And he talks way too fast and overuses the word awesome like it's going out of style. Before coming to Gainsight, Nick was the CEO of awesome leading Software-as-a-Service E-Discovery provider LiveOffice through its acquisition by Symantec and prior to that was a Vice President at VERITAS Software and Symantec Corporation.
