NEW YORK—While she regularly offers guidance to younger women as they make their way in an industry largely dominated by men, Colleen Miller of tech firm Roltronix told reporters Tuesday she also enjoys knocking one or two down from time to time, just as a treat to herself.

Because women starting out in the tech industry face unique challenges, Miller reportedly goes out of her way to offer them assistance—for example, on how to hold their own in the company’s highly competitive design meetings or deal with a pushy male boss.

“I can only go on being an encouraging, supportive role model to these women for so long before I have to cut loose and take one of them down a peg,” said Miller, noting that at any given time she works with eight or nine protégées, one of whom she will sometimes hit with a burst of pure contempt for a quick thrill.

In order to remind the women she takes under her wing that she can destroy them every bit as quickly as she has built them up, Miller confirmed she will give one of them the cold shoulder now and again, just to make the young woman wonder what she might have done wrong.“My door is always open, and for the most part, I will provide a welcoming and positive atmosphere for younger women in this company,” she said.
