Empowering women has always been my dream! Picture this, an environment where every woman not only thrives but soars. It's about celebrating the unique strengths of each individual, turning the traditional idea of success on its head, and making it accessible to all. Imagine a diverse group of women coming together, creating spaces where personal and professional growth go hand in hand. No more cookie-cutter definitions of success. It's about women blazing trails in their careers, building businesses, and pursuing passions—all on their own terms. We're talking about empowering independence—giving women the platform to speak their minds and make decisions fearlessly. And let's not forget about the fuel for this journey: education, mentorship, and endless opportunities for growth. We're equipping women with the tools and resilience they need to not just survive but thrive. This isn't just about building a team; it's about creating a culture of empowerment that sets the stage for a future where every woman can unleash her full potential. Together, we're not just changing lives; we're shaping a world where every woman's contribution is celebrated and valued. We’re very blessed to uplift and encourage each other in this environment, we’ll be very happy if you eager to learn & evolve together!

Innovation is not a gender-based trait; it arises from creativity, curiosity, and diverse perspectives. Historically, societal norms and biases have limited women's opportunities in innovation-driven fields. However, innovation thrives in inclusive environments where both men and women contribute equally. Efforts to provide equal access to education, mentorship, and resources are essential to ensure that innovation offers equal opportunities. By promoting gender diversity and equity, we can harness the full potential of all innovators, fostering a more robust and dynamic innovation landscape. Innovation should and can provide equal grounds for both men and women. Progressive modern organizations provide a more level playing field, allowing women to innovate better than ever before. Women's contributions to innovation are increasingly recognized and celebrated. Kudos to the women leading the way in innovation! https://lnkd.in/dGvuRPdb #InnovationLeaders #WomenInInnovation #WomenInTech #WomenEmpowerment #EqualOpportunity #DiversityInTech #BreakingBarriers #WomenLeadership #InclusiveInnovation #WomenInScience #GenderEquality #WomenInSTEM #EmpowerWomen Innomantra Dr. Kumudhini Ravindra Suchetha M.S Geetha Ramamoorthi (MLE℠) Celestina George Prabhavathi Rao Saanvi Rakesh Apoorva Gupta Prathibha Gupta Supriya Salian Akshara Kumar Nikitha Srujana Patel ( Vidya Patel ) Geetha Nagaraja Tanuja Rao Pratibha Kudva Niky Kuruvilla Eapen Deepashree Narendra Florica Prabu (She/Her) CA Millica Prabu Ashika Appaiah Geetha Sanjay Vishnupriya Vishnuprasad Cheryl George Shaswati Shee Deepthi CK Shrilakshmi Desiraju Padmavathi S Bhat Lokesh Venkataswamy Tojin Thomas Eapen, PhD Sajid Khetani Muthukumaraswamy DPK Vishwanath Gurlhosur Shyamsunder Mandayam Sreekanth Moni

Friday is International Women's Day. Commitment to equality and women's rights must not be limited to this day alone. Nevertheless, attention is important. In three interviews over the next few days, we will introduce you to some of our female colleagues. They talk about the goals they are still pursuing with VAIVA, what development opportunities exist and what potential they see for the future. Team leader Nicole Nöldner-Theel makes the start. Hello Nicole, you are currently the only female team leader at VAIVA. What is your team working on and what has your professional career been like? My team develops in the areas of ADAS, tool development, automation and our own product development. Both classic software algorithms and AI-based algorithms are used here. I started out as a C++ developer in the ADAS area. As I progressed, I specialized further and further, via SW architect and functional safety management in environment perception, product owner of an automated valet parking function, various project manager roles, including in the field of ADAS. Project Manager roles, including in the area of video HiL and Lead of an autonomous driving platform development, through to Team Manager for software and AI development at VAIVA. It was always important to me to discover new things and to keep learning. Why do you think it is so difficult to inspire (young) women for technical professions or perhaps even a leadership role? I think a lot has changed in recent years and will continue to do so. When I was studying, the proportion of women was 10-15%. There were always more men than women in my teams, both during my studies and later in my career. I was often even the only woman. But that wasn't a bad thing for me, I always found it enriching both for myself and for the others. My childhood experiences certainly also played a role. My father was a software developer himself. He actively brought this into the family. So I had access to it very early on. A leadership role in a technical environment is another level up. You don't just get a managerial role. It's hard work, including on yourself. And yes, you also have to assert yourself, especially in front of your male colleagues. But it's definitely worth the sometimes lengthy investment. And what is going on at VAIVA, or what makes VAIVA stand out for you? A lot has happened thanks to the revision of career levels, role and competence definitions. I also think the comparative discussions are very good, where we team leaders support each other in the evaluation and development of our employees, for example. This makes further development possibilities and opportunities even more accessible for every employee. #internationalwomensday #womensday #empowerment #leadership #vaiva #wearevaiva

Empowering women in technology requires more than just policies; it demands active allyship. In the article 'The art of allyship: Six ways to be an ally for women in tech' by Anjali Shaikh, Kristi Lamar, and Erika Maguire, the spotlight is on the indispensable role of allies in advancing women to leadership positions in the tech industry. Through the lens of Mojgan Lefebvre's journey, the article navigates the landscape where allyship is not just a one-time initiative but a continuous commitment. Backed by Deloitte's research, the article outlines six strategies for tech leaders to genuinely support, uplift, and advance women in the tech sector. From redefining allyship as a verb to emphasizing the business benefits, this article offers practical insights into fostering a culture where allyship thrives and women in tech can excel. #wecan #wecanlead #careeraccelerather #wecaninnercircle #elevatewomenleaders #womenintechnology #techindustry #womenexecutives #femalementor #inclusiveness #equalrightsforwomen #femaleceos #femaleleadership #inspiringexecutives #mentorshipnetwork
