How can employers keep talented women engaged for the long haul? In this episode, Debika Bhattacharya, Chief Product Officer at Verizon Business reflects on how her supportive and dynamic company has kept her excited about the telecom industry for over 25 years.

Beginning her career at Verizon as a frontline engineer, she has risen all the way to the top, keeping her feet firmly planted in both the technical and business sides of the company. Debika is a passionate advocate for employees setting boundaries around their lives outside of work. She also feels strongly that companies should support and care for their employees when they experience challenges in their personal lives.
