We’d like to take a moment to highlight some of our outstanding leaders here at Centific! Last month Sandhya Prusty and Surya Prabha Vadlamani were recently featured in our Women at Centific AMA session, hosted by Anh To, where they shared invaluable insights and experiences. Some key takeaways: •Both Sandhya and Prabha emphasize the significance of partnership, accessibility, and communication and support. They stressed that leading a team means serving them when needed. •Triumphs often come with challenges, particularly in male-dominated environments, underscoring the importance of resilience and self-advocacy. Especially for mothers re-entering the workforce. •For aspiring women in tech, believe in yourself, take risks, and commit to lifelong learning. Sandhya & Prabha both encouraged perseverance and seizing growth opportunities when the opportunity presents itself. As a company that is proud of our diverse workforce, we’ve made it a pillar of our culture to empower anyone seeking success and advancement in their endeavors. #WomenInTech #CentificLeadership

Are you #competitive or hiding your true nature? For years, I feared being judged as 'too competitive' for a #woman, worrying I should dial it back, be nicer, step aside. Yet, seeing a remarkable 18,700,000 viewers tune in for the #2024NCAA Women's #BasketballChampionship, led by the fiercely competitive #CaitlinClark, it hit me: our authenticity & competitive spirit can, and does, draw the masses. Her fearless embrace of competition not only shattered ceilings but also showed all of us how to step up in our professional lives as #salesleaders. 🏀🔥 This year's astronomical viewership numbers aren't just about the thrill of the game; they're a testament to how women like #CaitlinClark, who unapologetically showcase their #competitive fire, inspire us all to authentically embrace our own. 💼 💪🏼 In both arenas, it's about embracing our #emotions, harnessing our #passion, and fearlessly #fighting for our teams. Whether it's sinking a clutch shot or sealing a game-changing deal, the parallels are undeniable. 🏆 Today, I stand tall in #boardrooms, ready to tackle challenges head-on, and drive #results for my #clients. Just like those championship-winning teams, I'm here to collaborate, strategize, and ultimately, secure the win for my #customers. 🎯 So here's to the #power of women in sports & business alike. Let's continue breaking barriers, shattering stereotypes, and showing the world that when we compete, everyone watches. 🌎💥 #WomenInBusiness #GameChangers #Lionswalkwithlions #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork 🚀👩💼🔥

In November, when #24WIP was in the roughest-of-rough outlines, a conversation with a friend sparked a flash of "wildest dream lineup" vision. The vast majority of the content that comes to the Women In Product stages is driven by our CFP process - soup to nuts community run. Our keynote process is a little different. Here, we collect themes, names, and ideas that percolate from feedback collected across all of our programs and platforms. We survey the community after every event, asking who they most would like to hear from. We ask participants which women, which companies, which 'firsts' are top of their lists. We compile notes, float names to our board, ask for introductions. We do cold outreach, which is something like fly fishing, with a mission of landing powerful messages from women + gender diverse changemakers. So, back to November. In November, when hiking with Sonia Wong - a leader and friend I've learned so much from over the years - we cooked up a "wouldn't it be cool if..." vision. A leader in product fundamentals, representing the thru line that evolves but doesn't shift from dedication to the craft. A gen ai insider, from a leading company among those that introduced easy-to-use ai tools to everyone, all at once, and changed the cultural conversation. The newly minted C-suite duo that hails from the company that, in many ways, defined "pivot" before the pandemic made that term tech's most overused verb. Fast forward to now. (Sonia, thanks for dreaming big with me.) TL/DR: I could not BE more excited about this lineup. 🤩 #productmanagers - Not subscribed for Women In Product updates? This will not be the only exciting announcement; some of what's coming up will be limited capacity and first-come tickets. Avoid FOMO and stay tuned: https://lnkd.in/gjckRU6j

Excited to have just registered for the Panel Discussion: Women in Tech! 💻🌟 Looking forward to learning from and being inspired by amazing women leaders in the industry. Let's continue to support and empower each other in tech! #WomenInTech #TechLeadership #DiversityInTech

At Alludo, we don't just talk diversity; we embrace it, much like Leyla D. Seka. From shaking up Salesforce to fueling change with Black Venture Institute, Leyla's journey is a masterclass in breaking barriers. Her fight for pay equality and diverse voices in venture capital with Operator Collective is right up our alley. Leyla's 'management by haiku'? That's our kind of leadership language - concise, impactful, and inclusive. 💡💪 Dive into Leyla's story:
