I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Addressing and correcting that disparity is the work of Women’s Audio Mission (WAM), an organization dedicated to teaching audio engineering and technology to young women from low-income communities.

She helped me bring my bike into the garage and walked me through the soundproofed labyrinth of studios and classrooms.

It resembled the control panel of a spaceship in a sci-fi movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winston founded WAM over 13 years ago.

She helped me bring my bike into the garage and walked me through the soundproofed labyrinth of studios and classrooms.

I lost $97,000 because of you. I'm bankrupt because of you. You keep changing every day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalanick started out explaining that price cuts -- and thus cuts in driver compensation -- have been necessary because of the company's fight with rival ride service Lyft. But as Kamel's criticism grew sharper, he lost his temper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Bullshit,\" Kalanick says. \"You know what? Some people don't like to take responsibility for their own shit. They blame everything in their life on somebody else. Good luck.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Good luck to you, too,\" Kamel shouts. \"But I know you don't gonna go far.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exchange starts just after the four-minute mark of the video above and continues for about 2 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Bloomberg posted the video, it was Kalanick's turn to take responsibility for his own shit. He issued \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/a-profound-apology/\" target=\"_blank\">a profound apology\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By now I’m sure you’ve seen the video where I treated an Uber driver disrespectfully,\" Kalanick wrote. \"To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement. My job as your leader is to lead, and that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud. That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away. ... I want to profoundly apologize to Fawzi, as well as the driver and rider community, and to the Uber team.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kalanick video surfaces as the company faces a long run of stories that arguably place the company, never a stranger to controversy, in a harsher light than ever. Here's a quick rundown from Bloomberg:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In December, Uber pulled its self-driving cars \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/21/uber-to-state-weve-pulled-self-driving-cars-from-s-f-streets/\" target=\"_blank\">off the road\u003c/a> in San Francisco after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/14/uber-launches-self-driving-car-service-in-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\">the California Department of Motor Vehicles said\u003c/a> they were operating illegally without an autonomous vehicle license. In January, more than 200,000 people uninstalled their accounts, and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/deleteuber?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\">#DeleteUber\u003c/a> trended on Twitter, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2017/01/29/uber-triggers-protest-for-not-supporting-taxi-strike-against-refugee-ban/?utm_term=.2a56870199b7\" target=\"_blank\">the company was accused\u003c/a> of undermining a New York taxi union strike protesting President Donald Trump’s refugee ban. On Feb. 2, Kalanick reluctantly \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/02/ubers-travis-kalanick-steps-down-from-trumps-advisory-board/\" target=\"_blank\">left his spot\u003c/a> on Trump’s business advisory council to appease the company’s liberal-leaning employees and users—not to mention its many immigrant drivers. On Feb. 19, a former software engineer at Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber\" target=\"_blank\">wrote a blog post\u003c/a> alleging that she had been propositioned for sex by her manager and that when she’d taken the issue to human resources, an HR rep had said that he wouldn’t be punished, in part, because he was a “high performer.” On Feb. 23, Alphabet’s autonomous car company \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/24/google-spin-off-sues-uber-saying-leader-of-autonomous-vehicle-unit-stole-key-designs/\" target=\"_blank\">Waymo sued Uber\u003c/a> and its self-driving car company Otto, accusing an Uber employee of stealing trade secrets by downloading 14,000 files onto an external hard drive. On Monday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/27/technology/uber-sexual-harassment-amit-singhal-resign.html\" target=\"_blank\">Uber’s head of engineering resigned\u003c/a> after the company said it learned that he had faced a sexual harassment complaint at Alphabet, his former employer. He denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The sexual harassment and discrimination allegations alluded to above, by engineer Susan J. Fowler, describe an unapologetic culture in which Uber's HR department appeared to actively abet a male employee who had approached her and other female workers for sex. Fowler's account \u003ca href=\"https://www.recode.net/2017/2/20/14677546/uber-ceo-travis-kalanick-eric-holder-memo\">prompted the company to retain\u003c/a> former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to lead an investigation, along with the head of HR, Liane Hornsey, and board member Arianna Huffington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fowler's charges also led Kalanick to declare, \"I believe in creating a workplace where a deep sense of justice underpins everything we do. ... It is my number one priority that we come through this a better organization, where we live our values and fight for and support those who experience injustice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two people who say they're not impressed by the promise of an investigation are early Uber investors Mitch and Freada Kapor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their own \u003ca href=\"https://shift.newco.co/an-open-letter-to-the-uber-board-and-investors-2dc0c48c3a7#.xhi3j48w6\">blog post\u003c/a>, they argue that the promised investigation is hardly independent. Holder and his law firm have been lobbying on behalf of Uber since last June, they say, and Huffington and Hornsey are company insiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More damning, the Kapors says, the Fowler allegations and the company's response appear to repeat earlier behavior:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Silicon Valley prides itself on pattern recognition (often the umbrella under which all sorts of bias lives, but we digress) which supposedly helps them recognize the next Unicorn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are a couple of toxic patterns we have observed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has been here many times before, responding to public exposure of bad behavior by holding an all-hands meeting, apologizing and vowing to change, only to quickly return to aggressive business as usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investors in high growth, financially successful companies rarely, if ever, call out inexcusable behavior from founders or C-suite executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both of these patterns need to change. Uber’s outsize success in terms of growth of market share, revenues and valuation are impressive, but can never excuse a culture plagued by disrespect, exclusionary cliques, lack of diversity, and tolerance for bullying and harassment of every form.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"Culture of disrespect.\" You wonder what the Kapors make of the new Kalanick video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his public apology, the Uber CEO says: \"The criticism we’ve received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up. This is the first time I’ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Leadership help\"? You mean something like this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/2GgHaFvmY3s\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He issued \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/a-profound-apology/\" target=\"_blank\">a profound apology\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By now I’m sure you’ve seen the video where I treated an Uber driver disrespectfully,\" Kalanick wrote. \"To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement. My job as your leader is to lead, and that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud. That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away. ... I want to profoundly apologize to Fawzi, as well as the driver and rider community, and to the Uber team.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kalanick video surfaces as the company faces a long run of stories that arguably place the company, never a stranger to controversy, in a harsher light than ever. Here's a quick rundown from Bloomberg:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In December, Uber pulled its self-driving cars \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/21/uber-to-state-weve-pulled-self-driving-cars-from-s-f-streets/\" target=\"_blank\">off the road\u003c/a> in San Francisco after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/14/uber-launches-self-driving-car-service-in-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\">the California Department of Motor Vehicles said\u003c/a> they were operating illegally without an autonomous vehicle license. In January, more than 200,000 people uninstalled their accounts, and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/deleteuber?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\">#DeleteUber\u003c/a> trended on Twitter, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2017/01/29/uber-triggers-protest-for-not-supporting-taxi-strike-against-refugee-ban/?utm_term=.2a56870199b7\" target=\"_blank\">the company was accused\u003c/a> of undermining a New York taxi union strike protesting President Donald Trump’s refugee ban. On Feb. 2, Kalanick reluctantly \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/02/ubers-travis-kalanick-steps-down-from-trumps-advisory-board/\" target=\"_blank\">left his spot\u003c/a> on Trump’s business advisory council to appease the company’s liberal-leaning employees and users—not to mention its many immigrant drivers. On Feb. 19, a former software engineer at Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber\" target=\"_blank\">wrote a blog post\u003c/a> alleging that she had been propositioned for sex by her manager and that when she’d taken the issue to human resources, an HR rep had said that he wouldn’t be punished, in part, because he was a “high performer.” On Feb. 23, Alphabet’s autonomous car company \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/24/google-spin-off-sues-uber-saying-leader-of-autonomous-vehicle-unit-stole-key-designs/\" target=\"_blank\">Waymo sued Uber\u003c/a> and its self-driving car company Otto, accusing an Uber employee of stealing trade secrets by downloading 14,000 files onto an external hard drive. On Monday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/27/technology/uber-sexual-harassment-amit-singhal-resign.html\" target=\"_blank\">Uber’s head of engineering resigned\u003c/a> after the company said it learned that he had faced a sexual harassment complaint at Alphabet, his former employer. He denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The sexual harassment and discrimination allegations alluded to above, by engineer Susan J. Fowler, describe an unapologetic culture in which Uber's HR department appeared to actively abet a male employee who had approached her and other female workers for sex. Fowler's account \u003ca href=\"https://www.recode.net/2017/2/20/14677546/uber-ceo-travis-kalanick-eric-holder-memo\">prompted the company to retain\u003c/a> former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to lead an investigation, along with the head of HR, Liane Hornsey, and board member Arianna Huffington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fowler's charges also led Kalanick to declare, \"I believe in creating a workplace where a deep sense of justice underpins everything we do. ... It is my number one priority that we come through this a better organization, where we live our values and fight for and support those who experience injustice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two people who say they're not impressed by the promise of an investigation are early Uber investors Mitch and Freada Kapor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their own \u003ca href=\"https://shift.newco.co/an-open-letter-to-the-uber-board-and-investors-2dc0c48c3a7#.xhi3j48w6\">blog post\u003c/a>, they argue that the promised investigation is hardly independent. Holder and his law firm have been lobbying on behalf of Uber since last June, they say, and Huffington and Hornsey are company insiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More damning, the Kapors says, the Fowler allegations and the company's response appear to repeat earlier behavior:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Silicon Valley prides itself on pattern recognition (often the umbrella under which all sorts of bias lives, but we digress) which supposedly helps them recognize the next Unicorn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are a couple of toxic patterns we have observed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has been here many times before, responding to public exposure of bad behavior by holding an all-hands meeting, apologizing and vowing to change, only to quickly return to aggressive business as usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investors in high growth, financially successful companies rarely, if ever, call out inexcusable behavior from founders or C-suite executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both of these patterns need to change. Uber’s outsize success in terms of growth of market share, revenues and valuation are impressive, but can never excuse a culture plagued by disrespect, exclusionary cliques, lack of diversity, and tolerance for bullying and harassment of every form.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"Culture of disrespect.\" You wonder what the Kapors make of the new Kalanick video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his public apology, the Uber CEO says: \"The criticism we’ve received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up. This is the first time I’ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Leadership help\"?

The H-1B program covers many fields, but is especially known to benefit tech companies. Its description often invokes a recurring line about America's interest in attracting the world's \"best and brightest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But H-1B also has elements known to be broken: A lottery decides who gets the visa; the demand has far eclipsed the quota; and options for permanent stay differ by country of origin. And the biggest complaint is that Indian IT companies like Wipro, Infosys and Tata have hijacked the system.

Under Issa's bill, the threshold would rise to $100,000 and holders of master's degrees would lose an exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Lofgren and other critics — which include \u003ca href=\"http://www.ieeeusa.org/communications/releases/2017/10617.asp\" target=\"_blank\">the engineering group IEEE-USA\u003c/a> — say that this won't do much.

The H-1B program covers many fields, but is especially known to benefit tech companies. Its description often invokes a recurring line about America's interest in attracting the world's \"best and brightest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But H-1B also has elements known to be broken: A lottery decides who gets the visa; the demand has far eclipsed the quota; and options for permanent stay differ by country of origin.

They’re taking their case to shareholders at a meeting next week despite the fact that Apple has asked voters to reject the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To launch a shareholder proposal, you need to own at least $2,000 of a company’s stock (or 1 percent of the company, depending on which costs less). Tony Maldonado owns at least that much stock in Apple. The investor wouldn’t tell me exactly how much, but for the second year in a row, he’s submitted this proposal:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shareholders request that board of directors adopt an accelerated recruitment policy requiring Apple Inc., the company, to increase the diversity of senior management and its board of directors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maldonado says his proposal isn’t about social justice. It’s about business. He claims that the lack of diversity on the executive team and board puts Apple’s business at risk in the long run. Especially as Apple looks for its \u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/26/12289832/apple-iphone-sales-q3-2016\" target=\"_blank\">next big hit beyond the iPhone\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/309221748\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their customers are a wide, diverse group globally. Set aside the social issue portion and look at it just from a business perspective,” Maldonado said. “It makes common sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, to make products that attract diverse global customers, Apple’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/\" target=\"_blank\">executive team\u003c/a> needs to be more diverse and global, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maldonado says he got the idea for the proposal when he was surfing company websites with his son. They went to the website of Apple, which Maldonado said is one of his favorite companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And we were looking at their executive-level directory, and he just made a quick comment, ‘Hmmm, quite white’ ” Maldonado said. “That shocked me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Maldonado had never really noticed it before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then I did more research, and I noticed in nearly 40 years, Apple has hardly promoted anyone of color to the C-suite,” Maldonado said. “Blacks, Latinos and Asians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maldonado is willing to concede that the talent pool for engineering jobs might be shallow when it comes to blacks and Latinos. But he notes senior managers also oversee marketing, human resources, operations, legal and communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Apple needs to be more honest with itself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple didn’t return a request for comment. But in a filing with the \u003ca href=\"http://investor.apple.com/secfiling.cfm?filingid=1193125-16-422528&cik=320193#D79474DDEF14A_HTM_TOC79474_36\" target=\"_blank\">Securities and Exchange Commission\u003c/a>, the board advised shareholders to vote against the proposal. Apple says it has already embarked on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.apple.com/diversity/\" target=\"_blank\">broad effort to address diversity\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pat Miguel Tomaino, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.zevin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Zevin Asset Management\u003c/a> in Boston, agrees that Apple has tried to grow the pipeline for diverse talent. Zevin invests in socially responsible companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zevin signed on to the shareholder proposal this year because those diversity initiatives haven’t changed the composition of Apple’s upper ranks, Tomaino said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the proposal passes, it’s still up to Apple to decide on how to diversify. Tomaino has some suggestions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically, its peers have taken a lot of steps in that direction,” Tomaino said. \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/18/13681738/microsoft-diversity-goals-executive-bonuses-women-in-tech\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft announced\u003c/a> last year that a portion of its CEO Satya Nadella's compensation would be tied to Microsoft’s own diversity performance targets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diversifying the tech sector is something \u003ca href=\"http://www.kaporcapital.com/who-we-are/ellen-pao/\" target=\"_blank\">Ellen Pao\u003c/a> has thought a lot about. She’s the chief diversity and inclusion officer at \u003ca href=\"http://www.kaporcapital.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Kapor Capital\u003c/a>, which invests in and advocates for startups led by people of color. Her gender discrimination suit against a Silicon Valley venture capital firm resulted in a high-profile trial in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple’s diversity numbers aren’t that different from other established tech companies like Google and Facebook. Pao says one reason for the lack of diversity at those companies is because they started in an era when a \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/\" target=\"_blank\">premium was put on friends\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole concept was starting with your friends in college or the friends you’ve known forever that you really trust, and going out and bringing more and more of your friends who look like you,” Pao said. “And that was successful. And for a set of companies it was extremely successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pao says these companies understand the need to diversify but they are \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-09/facebook-s-hiring-process-hinders-its-effort-to-create-a-diverse-workforce\" target=\"_blank\">reluctant to mess with the formula.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Tony Maldonado, the investor who made the proposal, is playing the long game. While his proposal didn’t pass last year, it did get “yes” votes from 5 percent of the shareholders, which was enough to introduce the proposal again. This year, he’ll have to get at least 6 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m optimistically confident that I will get beyond the 6 percent threshold this year, so I’ll be able to bring this up next year,” Maldonado said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maldonado says that if he can keep his proposal alive, change will happen eventually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cem>This story is part of our ongoing series on Techquity: Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Silicon Valley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Set aside the social issue portion and look at it just from a business perspective,” Maldonado said. “It makes common sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, to make products that attract diverse global customers, Apple’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/\" target=\"_blank\">executive team\u003c/a> needs to be more diverse and global, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maldonado says he got the idea for the proposal when he was surfing company websites with his son. They went to the website of Apple, which Maldonado said is one of his favorite companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And we were looking at their executive-level directory, and he just made a quick comment, ‘Hmmm, quite white’ ” Maldonado said. “That shocked me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Maldonado had never really noticed it before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then I did more research, and I noticed in nearly 40 years, Apple has hardly promoted anyone of color to the C-suite,” Maldonado said. “Blacks, Latinos and Asians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maldonado is willing to concede that the talent pool for engineering jobs might be shallow when it comes to blacks and Latinos. But he notes senior managers also oversee marketing, human resources, operations, legal and communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Apple needs to be more honest with itself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple didn’t return a request for comment. But in a filing with the \u003ca href=\"http://investor.apple.com/secfiling.cfm?filingid=1193125-16-422528&cik=320193#D79474DDEF14A_HTM_TOC79474_36\" target=\"_blank\">Securities and Exchange Commission\u003c/a>, the board advised shareholders to vote against the proposal.

Zevin invests in socially responsible companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zevin signed on to the shareholder proposal this year because those diversity initiatives haven’t changed the composition of Apple’s upper ranks, Tomaino said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the proposal passes, it’s still up to Apple to decide on how to diversify. Tomaino has some suggestions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically, its peers have taken a lot of steps in that direction,” Tomaino said. \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/18/13681738/microsoft-diversity-goals-executive-bonuses-women-in-tech\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft announced\u003c/a> last year that a portion of its CEO Satya Nadella's compensation would be tied to Microsoft’s own diversity performance targets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diversifying the tech sector is something \u003ca href=\"http://www.kaporcapital.com/who-we-are/ellen-pao/\" target=\"_blank\">Ellen Pao\u003c/a> has thought a lot about. She’s the chief diversity and inclusion officer at \u003ca href=\"http://www.kaporcapital.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Kapor Capital\u003c/a>, which invests in and advocates for startups led by people of color. Her gender discrimination suit against a Silicon Valley venture capital firm resulted in a high-profile trial in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple’s diversity numbers aren’t that different from other established tech companies like Google and Facebook. Pao says one reason for the lack of diversity at those companies is because they started in an era when a \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/\" target=\"_blank\">premium was put on friends\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole concept was starting with your friends in college or the friends you’ve known forever that you really trust, and going out and bringing more and more of your friends who look like you,” Pao said. “And that was successful. And for a set of companies it was extremely successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pao says these companies understand the need to diversify but they are \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-09/facebook-s-hiring-process-hinders-its-effort-to-create-a-diverse-workforce\" target=\"_blank\">reluctant to mess with the formula.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Tony Maldonado, the investor who made the proposal, is playing the long game. While his proposal didn’t pass last year, it did get “yes” votes from 5 percent of the shareholders, which was enough to introduce the proposal again. This year, he’ll have to get at least 6 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m optimistically confident that I will get beyond the 6 percent threshold this year, so I’ll be able to bring this up next year,” Maldonado said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maldonado says that if he can keep his proposal alive, change will happen eventually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cem>This story is part of our ongoing series on Techquity: Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Silicon Valley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
