Verónica Mejía

Hello! I´m Verónica, Engagement Manager & Technical Leader, based in Aguascalientes, Mexico. I´ve been with Capgemini for more than 8 years. When I joined in 2017, I started working as Java Backend developer. When the pandemic arrived, I had to jump to Manufacturing account taking a Technical Leader position. To be honest, I was scared! Taking a technical role, working with high performance team members (more than 20 talents) that besides everything, they were men!

I had the opportunity to collaborate, to know the people and show them that they can also be guided by women, having as base: Listen, Communication, Teamwork and Empathy.

It has undoubtedly been a great experience in my life.
