To celebrate Pride month, we’re highlighting some of the most successful, respected LGBTQ+ executives in the tech industry. Get to know (and follow!) these exceptional LPs, leaders, and operators:

Angie Coleman (@angieidunno)
Director of Community, Operator Collective
It’s me! I’ve led and developed communities for nearly a decade, spanning B2B product spaces and peer social groups at companies like Snowflake, Lesbians Who Tech, Zendesk, and Dropbox. We’re talking all about my learnings and how to build communities that matter on the blog this summer. Outside of OpCo, you can find me supporting my local QPOC, LGBTQ+, and techie communities, or enjoying nature – hiking, kayaking, or overlanding off the grid.
