Knowing Your Worth: Vikki Yaller Radow on Work, Grit, and Leadership
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on Path Found, Monica speaks with Vikki Yaller Radow—a tech leader who built a career by jumping in, speaking up, and tearing down barriers long before diversity in tech was a conversation.
Raised by hardworking parents who never attended college, Vikki began her journey rolling out personal computers at Northrop Grumman. She learned to troubleshoot hardware, embraced early‑era startup chaos, helped build GeoCities and FrontBridge, and ultimately contributed to the technology that would become Microsoft’s Office 365.
Today, she leads the largest business unit at Upland Software, overseeing customer success, engineering teams, and strategic growth.
Vikki shares her three foundational principles:
• Find what interests you and what you're good at.
• Work harder than anyone around you.
• Be a positive influence.
She speaks candidly about navigating male‑dominated spaces, building confidence, raising daughters with resilience, and why your worth depends on the rooms you choose to be in.
It’s an inspiring conversation about grit, curiosity, and creating opportunities—especially when none are handed to you.
