“My favorite saying is, ‘Faith it ‘til you make it. Don’t fake it; believe in yourself and give yourself enough grace to learn along the way.’ That one-word change has removed a lot of imposter syndrome for me”

“I always knew three things. I liked solving tough, meaningful problems, I wanted to help businesses interact with customers in the best way possible, and I wanted a fast-paced career.”
After completing an MBA from the University of San Diego, Caitlin Rios found her way into product management while working at software development firm Mitchell International.
“When I found product management, it was a perfect fit. From then on, my plan was to progressively move into leadership roles, formal and informal, so I could continue solving new types of problems.”
As vice president of product, Rios has been with CoreLogic for over four years, with over a decade of expertise in software as a service (SaaS) product management.
Despite her career success, as a young professional, Rios recalls encountering sexist attitudes that often made her feel less heard than her male counterparts. “I took on a different persona – one that always dressed formal and spoke with more conviction than I really felt, just to be heard.”

As a product manager, Rios knows that success is all about prioritizing and making trade-offs. The VP continually strives to find a balance between upskilling her team and herself.
“The more capable my team is, the more they can take on and allow me to tackle difficult problems, of course, but there is always a balance between the longer-term training and needing to get some work done in the short term.”
While Rios admits she doesn’t always get it right, the VP takes every experience as an opportunity to grow and learn. “I find a lot of value and enjoyment in trying something new, and excitement in not knowing what problem needs solving on a given day.”

As an elite leader in insurance, Rios hopes to use her influence to inspire young women to be bold.
“As I have moved into more leadership roles, I think it’s imperative to support others in taking risks,” she says. “My favorite saying is, ‘Faith it ‘til you make it. Don’t fake it; believe in yourself and give yourself enough grace to learn along the way.’ That one-word change has removed a lot of imposter syndrome for me.”
Hoping to see more females enter the insurance sector, Rios says the soft skills that are often attributed to feminine energy are precisely what the industry needs.
“Insurance is about people and restoring lives after a traumatic event. We need that human connection to help others rebuild. Those skills are positive and infectious energy.”
