Milena Berry is originally from Bulgaria and she is the co-founder and CEO of PowerToFly - a platform that connects underrepresented talent to inclusive companies, helping women, LGBTQIA+ folks, and people of color find jobs, up skill, and thrive in tech and beyond. She first moved from Bulgaria to Netherlands and then to New York City, as an international student, right before 9/11.

Milena built a career in tech as an immigrant woman, and raised four kids with her wife. In this episode, we talked about her beginning in the Big Apple as a student, how she started her career in tech, the creation of her company, PowerToFly, the reality of parenting, and being a two-mom family amid today’s culture wars among with advice for immigrant women.

Due to a video recording issue, this episode is audio-only.

Why the name “Transplants”?

I've always loved the meaning this word can have. To be a transplant is to carry one life while learning to live another.
