Pledge 1%'s #WomenWhoLead series celebrates female leaders who are paving the way for the next generation. While our featured leaders come from a variety of backgrounds and industries, they are united in their efforts to promote equality for all women in the workplace. We’ve asked them to share a bit about their journey to success, as well as lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Helping our customers succeed by being able to meet their needs and being able to inspire others around me, by example, to be a servant leader.

Practicing resilience and knowing that each of our stories, battles and conquests serves a purpose and inspires others to act.

In order to be a leader in technology, you need to know more than just technology. You must understand the people behind it (the makers) and in front of it (the consumers).

Curious.
