S27E15 - Helping Employers Attract and Retain STEM+ Women, with D Sangeeta

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with D Sangeeta about helping employers attract and retain STEM+ women. See the video here: https://youtu.be/9PenzRjaayI.  At 29, Sangeeta (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dsangeeta/) was at the end of her rope, about to quit a STEM career she loved because she couldn't navigate the roadblocks that were being thrown in front of her — as a woman, as an immigrant, as a person of color. Luckily, a mentor reached out, guided her, and she stayed in her career for another two decades, achieving 26 patents and leading global teams of 5,000+ with budgets of more than $200 million. She has mentored other STEM women, but could only help one woman at a time. That's why she is building a scalable, for-profit career advice platform so 30+ million STEM women around the world have access to the advice they need from top professionals to stick with their careers and thrive. Today, she can lead her global company because of the early leadership, business, and life lessons she learned - first as a scientist with GE; then as Director of Marketing and various managerial positions with GE Aviation; then as Global Head of Data Science and Chief Diversity Officer with Nielsen; then as VP of Connections with Amazon - all thanks to her sponsor who reached out in the very beginning.  Check out Dr. Westover's new book, 'Bluer than Indigo' Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/bluerthanindigo.  Check out Dr. Westover's book, The Alchemy of Truly Remarkable Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/leadershipalchemy.  Check out the latest issue of the Human Capital Leadership magazine, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/hci-magazine.  Ranked #6 Performance Management Podcast: https://blog.feedspot.com/performance_management_podcasts/  Ranked #6 Workplace Podcast: https://blog.feedspot.com/workplace_podcasts/  Ranked #7 HR Podcast: https://blog.feedspot.com/hr_podcasts/  Ranked #12 Talent Management Podcast: https://blog.feedspot.com/talent_management_podcasts/  Ranked in the Top 20 Personal Development and Self-Improvement Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/  Ranked in the Top 30 Leadership Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/leadership_podcasts/
