Susan Joy Fowler is a writer and software engineer known for influencing institutional changes in how Uber and Silicon Valley companies respond to sexual harassment. Fowler worked at two technology startup companies before joining Uber in late 2015. In early 2017, her blog post on sexual harassment at the company went viral and ultimately led to the removal of Uber founder and CEO Travis Kalanick. She runs a science book club and has written a book on microservices, a style of constructing applications as a collection of loosely coupled services. Fowler served as editor-in-chief of a quarterly publication by the payment processing company Stripe, and as a technology opinion editor at The New York Times.
