Building a Path To Leadership: How to Thrive in Tech as a Diverse Woman

In this session, I would love to share my personal journey of growing my career inside one of the world’s largest tech companies, Cisco Systems. My story spans from Romania, teaching Cisco tech course, to the Netherlands, where I started my sales career with Cisco, and finally in Vancouver, where I became the first immigrant LGBTQ+ woman to take over leadership of Western Canada as a Sales VP. Throughout my corporate journey, I earned multiple accolades (top 1% of the company several times, recognized leader of the most diverse team in Canada) and promoted a culture of wellbeing and teamwork. I touch on topics such as using mentorship and sponsorship to advance your career, leaning into your authentic choices, and using your personal strengths to flourish.
