Her story podcast series

Incredible stories, straight from the heart 

A podcast series on the remarkable women within our Data and AI global practice

What has changed for women in business? The answer is – a lot. Women have distinguished themselves in businesses and in leadership. Every leader has a different story, but they all have one thing in common – at one point in their lives, they took a giant leap that changed their career like day and night. We asked our female colleagues for their perspectives on how the business landscape has evolved throughout their careers, their advice for Data and AI professionals to establish themselves as experts, and what motivates them to work in Data and AI.  

An experience shared is an experience lived

The Her Story podcast series brings you inspiring stories from some of the remarkable women at our Data and AI global practice. It aims to encourage you on your career journey to carve your own path by showing that challenges are real, and so are opportunities!  Each of these real stories feature wins and challenges, intense moments, and displays of vulnerabilities that encourage you to take the plunge. They illustrate how diverse teams lead to a more inclusive tech design, drive fairness in AI systems, and reduce algorithmic biases. Their insights reinforce our will to progress and to demonstrate key skills to be a successful leader.
