On this week’s episode of Secure The Seat, I am doing part two on the world of cryptocurrency. I interview Anne Griffin. We discuss the technology behind bitcoin--blockchain. This is a complimentary piece to last week's Crypto 101. Anne is a product professional that built her product management career working with organizations such as Microsoft, Comcast, Mercedes-Benz, and Priceline. She is currently at Priceline, and also serves as the Chief Product and Curriculum Officer for Tech 2025. Anne's technical foundation stems from her engineering degree from the University of Michigan. She is passionate about the practical human aspects of technology and building products with emerging and disruptive technologies, such as AI and blockchain, rooted in the realities of the human experience. Additionally, she serves on the Advisory Board for the Rutgers University Big Data Certificate program and has guest lectured at Columbia University, Morgan State University and the University of Montreal on blockchain. She teaches her own course on Business Applications of Blockchain through O'Reilly Media. Outside of her work, Anne is a voracious learner, frequent traveler, and seriously committed to her self-care.

Additionally, here are some amazing women of color in blockchain people should follow:

Saritta Hines, CEO of Trustabit, automating airline refunds via smart contracts (great for customers and also helps airlines comply with laws)
Lindsay Ladd, CEO of EmpirEqual, using blockchain to promote and maintain diversity and inclusion in companies
Cleve Mesidor, CEO of LOGOS, a blockchain-based social network (also co-organizer of the Women of Color Blockchain Congressional Briefing)
Theresa Hoang, CEO of Women's Crypto Playground, site that features and promotes women in crypto and blockchain (also co-organizer of the Women of Color Blockchain Congressional Briefing)
Genevieve Leveille, CEO of AgriLedger, agriculture supply chain using blockchain
Tonya Evans, Associate Dean of the University of New Hampshire Law School, Creator/architect of their Blockchain Online Professional Certificate (I think you know her)
Maureen Murat, Adjunct Professor as part of the University of New Hampshire Law School's Blockchain Online Professional Certificate, Senior Partner at Axes & Eggs
