It prevents us from exploring new opportunities. Zeesha Currimbhoy: The fear of failure prevents us from taking risks. Zeesha Currimbhoy: Last night, I was basically thinking about what I’m going to talk about, and I was reflecting on my career, and I said, “You know what, what’s kind of gotten me here? What’s made me successful?” The thing that resonated the most about this, about my journey and the thing I wanted to share with all of you is I truly believe that the thing that stands between each one of us, everyone in this room, me and every human, the thing that stands between us and success is really the fear of failure. Fun fact, I had both of my kids while working at startup, so if ever anyone’s curious or is trying, just planning to start a family and is in engineering or is in a startup, feel free to come chat with me later. I’m a mother of two adorable children, Sarah who’s four, that little one there, and Rehan who is a little over a year old. Zeesha Currimbhoy: On a more personal note, I’m a daughter. I think Branch has given me everything that I’ve been looking for so far. I’ve been at Branch over two years now, worn multiple hats just like you would at a startup, been in several roles, worked with a lot of different people. I’m also responsible for part of the most of the data science organization. I am running a search and discovery initiative where we’re basically building a pretty cool search product. I’m responsible for the product backend team. Zeesha Currimbhoy: On a more professional level, I’m currently a director at Branch where I run part of the engineering team. Who am I? I thought I’ll start off with a little blurb about who I am. I’m one of the directors of engineering here at Branch. Can everyone hear me okay at the back? Thumbs up if you can hear me.
