How does a female CEO in technology balance her roles? | Amy Gile | TEDxBoise

Amy Gile has played many roles in her life. Among them: model, actress, film producer and tech CEO. Here she explores the question of the roles and narratives: how do we navigate scripts as we make decisions throughout our lives about who we are and who we want to be? Amy takes us through her journey and the struggles that took her from being an Elite model to becoming co-founder of Silverdraft Supercomputing, the leading builder of computing platforms for creative arts, graphics, and design. A Boise native who made her way to New York and Paris as an Elite model, then to Hollywood as an actress and producer, Amy Gile developed a fascination with the process of producing great art and entertainment. This fascination, combined with a latent talent for technology, led her to create a company that builds breakthrough tools for visual creativity that are changing the way things get made. Through her journey, Amy has developed deep insights into the dynamics of being a powerful female in male-dominated industries.
