A: I am Nisha Krithivasan, Product Marketing Manager at TekSavvy Solutions Inc.
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a13334c608 .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a13334c608 .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a13334c608 .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: I have over 14 years of advertising and marketing experience across Telcom, Pharma and the CPG industries.
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a13334d3b6 .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a13334d3b6 .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a13334d3b6 .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: The industry is vast, fast-paced and forever evolving. From a marketing perspective, given it is one of the most dynamic industries, there’s so much to learn and it offers up new and amazing opportunities every day to stay relevant and ahead of the curve.
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a13334e353 .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a13334e353 .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a13334e353 .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: I love the fact that my role has the unique vantage point of having end-to-end visibility across, inside, and outside the company. I get to discuss strategy with the Executive Leadership team, implement the strategy with the various cross-functional teams, listen to the voice of the customer, feel the pulse of the market, and do all of this with an absolute stellar group of people!
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a13334f179 .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a13334f179 .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a13334f179 .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: I would just say to go for it! Don’t limit yourself—and try a lot of different things. I often find my female peers intimated trying to find their niche in the tech industry, but there are a lot of different roles and skills needed and so many different things you can do within the industry.
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a1333500da .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a1333500da .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a1333500da .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: Unconscious gender bias can exist at every level of an organization. This ‘multi-level’ discrimination hurts organizations by denying women a voice in key decision-making processes. Diverse organizations typically encourage a strong culture of inclusivity. Being self-aware and providing constructing feedback where necessary to female colleagues helps set the tone for the right environment.
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a133350e5d .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a133350e5d .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a133350e5d .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: The advice that I would give is the same advice I give myself: trust yourself. Don’t be afraid to take risks, be true to yourself and have the courage to do what you think is right for you. Put yourself forward for those top roles and keep trying until you get there. As a woman you have a lot to offer and if you know you can do the job then do yourself a favor – don’t doubt it, just go for it!
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a133351be0 .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a133351be0 .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a133351be0 .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: Show a path forward that is unique to each employee, provide constructive feedback and support a work-life balance.
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a133353c69 .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a133353c69 .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a133353c69 .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: Never stop asking questions. This advice has guided me through my transition into tech and my current role. Asking questions means that I’m learning and adapting which has helped me navigate an industry that’s constantly changing.
(function($) {$("head").append("#dfd-heading-623a133354a8d .dfd-heading-module {}#dfd-heading-623a133354a8d .dfd-heading-delimiter {border-bottom-style: solid;width: 100px;border-bottom-width: 10px;border-bottom-color: #70ab37;}#dfd-heading-623a133354a8d .dfd-heading-delimiter {margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 20px;}");})(jQuery);
A: When I think about what drives me, it is to challenge the status quo. I see the difference in companies that support a diverse and inclusive culture. I have been fortunate to have had strong advocates around me who have guided me in my career. When I feel too comfortable, I use that as an opportunity to move out of my comfort zone and discover growth.
