Review Quotes

"Having scaled workforces at Meta from 3,000 to 85,000 and at Okta from 2,000 to 6,000, I've witnessed a universal truth: in hyper-growth environments, careers mirror companies-they either scale brilliantly or stall under pressure. In Quantum Progression, Valerie Capers Workman captures exactly what separates these two outcomes." - Y. Vijay Rao, Former Chief People & Places Officer, Okta, Inc.

"The AI revolution isn't gender neutral. Women and underrepresented groups face unique challenges as technology reshapes careers, but Valerie Capers Workman shows us how to turn these challenges into our greatest opportunities. Her experience scaling Tesla's workforce and democratizing opportunity for college students at Handshake gives her unmatched credibility in creating pathways for everyone to thrive. This book is a game-changer for anyone who's been told to 'wait their turn' or 'play it safe.' Valerie's journey from lawyer to tech executive and her blueprint for making quantum leaps will inspire you to rewrite your own career story. At The Female Quotient, we believe in changing the equation. Quantum Progression gives us the formula." - Shelley Zalis, Founder and CEO, The Female Quotient
