Tech Intersect #38: Manasi Vora-Sia, Skynet and the Power of Decentralized Cloud Storage

Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.In this episode of Tech Intersect, I chat with Manasi Vora. She is the VP of Strategy and Operations at Sia where she focuses on privacy-based cloud storage products. She is also the Founder of Women in Blockchain Boston with a mission to break down barriers to entry for underrepresented group and to increase gender diversity within the blockchain industry. Prior to joining Sia, Manasi conducted research at the MIT Media Lab's Digital Currency Initiative and was the Director of MIT Bitcoin Expo. She held multiple roles on Wall Street before falling down the proverbial Crypto rabbit hole.Manasi reminds us that there is indeed a lane for everyone in this new digital economy. And everyone includes women and people of color and those in historically underrepresented and underestimated groups. She shares the importance of women and POC in STEM fields and in blockchain/crypto, speficially, what Sia and Skynet are and how you can get started quickly and easily, and how excited she is (and we all should be) about the future of decentralized file storage in a web 3.0 world.
