Saujani is the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, a national non-profit organization working to close the gender gap in technology and change the image of what a programmer looks like and does. With a variety of available programs, they are leading the movement to inspire, educate, and equip young women with the computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities.

Saujani began her career as an attorney and activist. In 2010, she surged onto the political scene as the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. During the race, she visited local schools and saw the gender gap in computing classes firsthand, which led her to start Girls Who Code. She also served as Deputy Public Advocate for New York City and ran a spirited campaign for Public Advocate in 2013.

Saujani's TED talk, "Teach girls, bravery not perfection," has more than 3 million views and has sparked a national conversation about how we're raising our girls. She is the author of two books, Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World, the first in a 13-book series about girls and coding which debuted as a New York Times bestseller, and Women Who Don't Wait In Line, in which she advocates for a new model of female leadership focused on embracing risk and failure, promoting mentorship and sponsorship, and boldly charting your own course - personally and professionally.

Saujani is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and Yale Law School.
