Where are you Pack Leaders and/or Peaceful Warriors?

Well-funded, internal startup (a creative team with deep pockets -  
doesn’t get any better than that!) of a major rich content provider is  
seeking a seasoned technology leader intimately familiar with web  
based data rich platforms and the people and project management  
approaches that lead to a successful launch the ongoing product  
refinement for its client base. The beta version of this platform has  
been so well received that they have exceeded their initial sales

forty or fifty people! All positions are onsite only)

You may want to rethink your subject title, reference Title VII of the  
Civil  
Rights Act of 1964.

I was thinking the same thing. There are lots of great female  
developers and tech managers out there. That headline is just  
offensive.

Well, maybe I am wrong, I did think about this, being an Alpha Female  
myself, but I figured any fellow Alpha Female would get that the phrase  
is  
simply poetic rhythm, its just doesnÂ¹t flow as well with Â³femaleÂ² added  
in  
there and of course it is not meant to exclude Alpha Females, I think we  
are  
way beyond that arenÂ¹t we, in other words, a true Alpha Female would be  
secure enough in her power to interpret the phrase as it is intended -  
a  
bit of poetic license.

I hope that clears up my intention.

Thanks,

Kathleen

Nah. By definition Alpha Females don’t need defending. Alpha Males  
know that. Betas, not so much ;-).

Best regards,

I kinda worry how long a start up can remain in business if they are  
spending $250,000 on a single person’s salary.

Tell you what – I have lots of Alpha Female friends. I’ll run this by  
them and get their opinions. I’d bet money that every last one would  
agree with me, not you. The women I know are secure enough in their  
femininity that they don’t like being called men.

And I’ll stop here, because this isn’t the gender studies list. I will  
share my results, though.

Best,
