May 21st Panelist: Hildy Shandell (COO,
Numecent - $14 Million Funded 2013 & Former VC)
Hildy Shandell has over two decades of success working with private and public technology companies in a multitude of operating, strategic, transactional
and investing roles. She has worked with Numecent as our Chief Operating Officer since November of 2010.
Previously, Hildy was a Venture Partner with Opus Capital, a $1 billion early stage venture capital fund, where she sourced and evaluated investment
opportunities in multiple enterprise and consumer markets. She has also advised start-ups on business and go-to-market strategy, potential strategic
alliances and financial/operational infrastructure.
Previously, Hildy was Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Genesis Microchip, where she was instrumental in the sale of the company to
STMicroelectronics at a 65% premium to market, the largest industry premium in recent years. While at Genesis, she accelerated new product launches
through a technology licensing program and designed an acquisition strategy to strengthen the company's portfolio of differentiated technology. Prior to
Genesis, Ms. Shandell was Vice President of Corporate Development at Broadcom. In that role, she completed close to $300 million of acquisitions
which achieved 80% of the targeted sources of value and 95% retention of key talent.
Before joining Broadcom, Hildy was Chief Operating Officer of 3Dlabs, having been promoted from CFO, to lead global operations. Prior roles included
Managing Director of the Renaissance Fund, a $150 million private equity fund, and partner at two major international law firms.
Women In Tech Network contributed to Book: Women Change The World (May 2014) by Michelle Patterson
(President and CEO) Marina Lee, CEO & Founder of Women In Tech Network is feature as one of 40 Powerful
Women in this book. Maria Shriver put California Women’s Conference on the map - The California Women’s
Conference Keynote 2014: Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post
This year, they are bringing together the CEOs from some of the top blogs in the world on one stage:
EmpowHER, BlogHer, DailyWorth, and Huffington Post with Women Network bringing them together. Collectively,
these media sites reach over 100 million people!
The conference driven by women’s issues that brought actresses Marcia Cross and Tippi Hedren and other celebrities to Long Beach will return next spring. The California Women’s Conference, which normally took place in the fall, will be on May 20 and 21 in
conjunction with Women Network Day, which “celebrates women supporting women and giving back to one another,” said Michelle Patterson, Women Network president and CEO. ”We are taking a moment and creating a movement!” Patterson said in an
announcement Monday.
“For nearly 30 years, the California Women’s Conference women have provided a forum for building successful businesses and positively influencing the world around them, hosting such influential personalities as Oprah Winfrey, Goldie Hawn, and First Lady
Michelle Obama.”
This will be Patterson’s second year conference, which is inspired by the women’s event that started nearly 30 years ago under Long Beach resident and former Gov. George Deukmejian and his wife, Gloria Deukmejian. That conference continued under the
Governor’s Office and was made popular under former state first
lady Maria Shriver.

Women Entrepreneur & Investor Series
- Women In Tech Network
Here are some of the reasons we created Women Entrepreneur & Investor Series - Women In Tech Network:
1) What This Female CEO Learned About Gender Bias After Pitching 200 VCs
2) Why It's Harder For Women to Raise VC Funds
3) Venture investor Aileen Lee says women executives are almost as hard ... at Silicon Valley's top-valued venture-backed companies as unicorns.
4) INC: Women Entrepreneurs receives only 4.2 percent of VC funding, according to new research from Stanford University’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research.
5) Harvard Business Review: The Unnatural Selection of Male Entrepreneurs written by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic http://ow.ly/umaM0
6) (Fox Business) Study: Investors Prefer Men’s Startup Pitches http://ow.ly/uHDy4
7) (WSJ) Kleiner Perkins Gender Discrimination Lawsuit Drags On

The conference driven by women’s issues that brought actresses Marcia Cross and Tippi Hedren and other celebrities to Long Beach will return next spring. The California Women’s Conference, which normally took place in the fall, will be on May 20 and 21 in conjunction with Women Network Day, which “celebrates women supporting women and giving back to one another,” said Michelle Patterson, Women Network president and CEO. ”We are taking a moment and creating a movement!” Patterson said in an announcement Monday. “For nearly 30 years, the California Women’s Conference women have provided a forum for building successful businesses and positively influencing the world around them, hosting such influential personalities as Oprah Winfrey, Goldie Hawn, and First Lady Michelle Obama.” This will be Patterson’s second year conference, which is inspired by the women’s event that started nearly 30 years ago under Long Beach resident and former Gov. George Deukmejian and his wife, Gloria Deukmejian. That conference continued under the Governor’s Office and was made popular under former state first lady Maria Shriver.
