Empowering women in the tech industry

Hanish Patel is joined by Google’s Julia Silva and Deloitte’s Sharon Harris to take a closer look at the need for diversity in the tech industry and the benefits of an inclusive culture—for every employee.

You have to have representation, you have to be respectful, you have to be relevant. That’s the real business impact of having a diverse and inclusive culture.

Implementing a positive change

Hanish continues his conversation with Julia Silva and Sharon Harris, discussing what it means to bring your “authentic self” to work, the importance of having sponsors—not just mentors—and the value in bringing diverse perspectives to the table.
