HubSpot Diversity & Inclusion

Come as you are. Hi!

Belonging is important. Meet HubSpotters who agree.

What's one thing most people might not know about you?

I've been passionate about gender equality from a very young age. I even nicknamed my room 'Queendom' because I didn’t like that kingdom has a masculine title despite it applying to both men and women.

What is one diversity program or initiative at HubSpot that makes you proud to work here, and why?

The Women@HubSpot program is really special. I’ve never worked in a company where the dedication to further women was so prevalent, so having a dedicated employee resource group to support women in every stage of their career still amazes me.

What advice do you have for people who want to help create a more inclusive environment but aren't sure where to start?

Start reflecting on situations you have felt included and if they were inclusive by nature, or if you fit in "by default" due to some sort of privilege. By acknowledging this privilege you can then start to look for ways you can include people who may not benefit from the same privilege you do. This may feel uncomfortable at the beginning. But the more you flex that muscle, the more natural it will feel. Having privilege isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as we use that benefit to speak out and level the playing field for all.

What's one thing most people might not know about you?

I'm the first in my family to go to college.

What is one diversity program or initiative at HubSpot that makes you proud to work here, and why?

As a member of our campus recruiting team, I'm proud of the innovation we're doing around connecting with students about career opportunities outside of the traditional career fair format. Meeting students in these different settings allows us to meet so many more individuals with diverse backgrounds and interests that we would normally miss.

Describe a time someone or something made you feel included at work.

In my first few months at HubSpot, I remember a time when my manager asked me to join her in a meeting with directors, VPs and our C-level executives. I was shocked to be in a room with so many influential figures, but realized the invitation was meant to create an opportunity for me to collaborate with more HubSpot leaders. I’m thankful for the experience, which has ultimately helped me better connect my every day work to our business goals.

Why is inclusion and belonging personally important to you?

I know what it feels like to be the only person in the room with a difference - whether it’s darker skin, the only woman, the only person who's LGBTQ, the only one with immigrant parents. Sometimes it's something only I notice, and sometimes you can feel the eyeballs on you. Either way, it's uncomfortable and something nobody should have to worry about. But what's great it that it's addressable through diversity and inclusion. The more people we have with varied experiences, strengths, backgrounds, identities, and ideas, the better any group, team, or company will be.

What advice do you have for people who want to help create a more inclusive environment but aren't sure where to start?

Learn from and listen to those different than you. Take the time to seek out the voices of writers, entrepreneurs, journalists, and other leaders. In person, ask your colleagues how they're doing and actively listen to their responses.

Describe a time someone or something made you feel included at work.

At Boston Pride in 2018, looking back at the sea of 150+ HubSpotters dancing through the city was something I’ll never forget. To know that these colleagues of mine were showing up to express their support for the LGBTQ+ community was overwhelming in the best way.

What's one thing most people might not know about you?

I sang opera and Gilbert & Sullivan in college and wrote my senior thesis on 1950s American opera.

Why is inclusion and belonging personally important to you?

As a biracial person, I've often felt like I didn't quite fit in with either of my halves, so I empathize strongly with how hard it is to feel like you're on the outside. Additionally, as a female engineer, I know that some workplaces are better than others at including and promoting leadership in groups that are underrepresented in tech. I want to make sure everyone at HubSpot feels like they belong so that they can do their best work, feel valued, and grow their careers here.

Describe a time someone or something made you feel included at work.

A few days after joining HubSpot, I nervously showed up to a People of Color at HubSpot meeting, afraid of walking into the room alone. I needn't have worried because the crew immediately welcomed me in. I soon found those weekly meetings to be a safe, comforting space within HubSpot. I also love the People of Color at HubSpot mentoring program; I've gotten to know and learn from senior leaders at the company, and it's been invaluable to my growth, both personally and professionally.

We grow better together.

Building an inclusive environment is a team effort. Our programs, employee-led resource groups, and events are open to all. Here are just a few we think you'll love.

Women@HubSpot implements initiatives and programming that empower women in tech and support women’s professional development through trainings, workshops, networking events, discussions with female leaders, and more. Our favorite day of the year? International Women's Day.
