Diversity in the tech industry is becoming top of mind for many hiring managers, how would you describe diversity in your respective teams - and how did you get there?

Diversity is incredibly important in tech. If we want to build products that have value and appeal to a wide audience, then all audiences have to see a home for themselves via that product or platform. The best way to build inclusive products is to have inclusive teams.

When I'm hiring, I make an effort to focus not only on the diversity of the candidates and the interview panel but also on the candidates' professional backgrounds. It's important to remember that not everyone has the same opportunities early in their career, and if you only focus on candidates who have worked at specific companies, you'll inevitably miss out on highly qualified people who can bring critically necessary perspectives to your team.

I would describe my team as diverse in several facets - though I can't take full credit. My team is made up of wonderful community experts, many of whom were hired in various other roles at Reddit and have made their way over to product marketing - so their hiring managers deserve a major shout for bringing them on board!
