Women in Cloud
Women in Cloud is a community-led economic development organization to generate $1B in economic access for women.
The debut documentary from the Women in Cloud organization ‘ICONS’ has been selected to screen in the Oscar-Qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival on August 10, 2024, at the TCL Chinese Theatre.
Coming from Executive Producers Chaitra Vedullapalli , President & Co-Founder of Women in Cloud and TEDx Speaker, and Michelle Pruitt , Director of Strategy and Engineering at Microsoft and TEDx Speaker, the film examines the current state of the gender gap in the Cloud and AI-driven economy through the experiences of 19 women leaders, founders, and political figures in tech.
“Highlighting women's journeys in tech is crucial for bridging tech and film in the AI-driven economy, where 76% of companies' lack of AI preparedness poses a major economic challenge,” shared EP Vedullapalli
