Karen Wickre has been called “the best-connected Silicon Valley figure you’ve never heard of” (Walt Mossberg) and a “powerful but unsung resource for tech industry insiders seeking career advice” (Steven Levy). She has worked for 30 years in technology businesses as a writer, editor, and communications pro, including long stints at Google and Twitter. Her avocation has long been connecting people, and it’s this interest that led her to write a book to demystify more genuine ways to build a personal network. Karen has written for Wired and Medium and has been a guest on many business-related podcasts.
