Reshma Saujani is the founder and C.E.O. of Girls Who Code, the nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in technology and change the image of what a computer programmer looks like and does. The organization has already reached 90,000 girls in all 50 states, Canada and the United Kingdom. She is the author of three books, including “Brave, Not Perfect,” (released in February 2019), “Women Who Don’t Wait in Line” and the New York Times best seller “Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World.” Saujani’s TED talk, “Teach girls, bravery not perfection,” has more than four million views and has sparked a worldwide conversation about how we’re raising our girls. In 2010, Saujani surged onto the political scene as the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. She has also served as deputy public advocate for New York City and ran a campaign for public advocate in 2013 on a platform of creating opportunity for all.
