Breaking the bias Momentum ITSMA

In our latest Breaking the Bias podcast, recorded live at Marketing Vision 2023, we were joined by Kimberly Fay Boucher, MIT Lecturer and Social Enterprise Activist, to explore the power of self-belief, the impact of mentorship, and why an organization’s culture of inclusion must be instilled from the top down.

Childhood playgrounds teach us to include everyone, but this sense of inclusiveness is often lost on the path to adulthood. Yet, Katelyn Sullivan, VP of Marketing and Sales enablement at State Street, says is crucial to retain this in our professional lives. In our latest Breaking The Bias Podcast, Katelyn shares the challenges she’s faced, and why the value of mentors in her own career has fuelled her passion for advocating equity and diversity for others.

While one person’s definition of diversity may differ from another’s, we’re united in our collective responsibility for fostering equity and inclusion in the workplace – and beyond. In our latest Breaking the Bias Podcast, recorded live at the Marketing leadership Forum in Napa Valley, we talk to Mona Charif, NTT DATA and Sharon Driscoll, IBM, to explore the complexities and the power of diversity, and discover the journeys that inspired their commitment to mentorship.

In this podcast, learn how Amy Auriemma’s journey varied from a journalism qualification to becoming Head of Business Transformation for Marketing at OpenText. It’s no wonder she’s so passionate about diversity and inclusion – something she says is in her DNA, having been an ally and advocate for underrepresented groups since she was in elementary school.      

In this podcast, Mitali Gohel, Amazon, and co-founder of Women in Tech, explains that not long into her career, she toyed with leaving business to work for NGOs. But her mentor encouraged her to try to make a change where she was. This piece of advice led her on a passionate journey of promoting equity and inclusion, championing women in leadership, and joining forces with other advocates of equality to be a powerful force in bridging the diversity gap in tech.

It’s not a new concept that diversity brings out the best in a team. Yet, changing the mindset in a predominantly male industry is a battle still being fought hard in sales. In this podcast, Sally Duby, Chief Sales Officer at The Bridge Group, explores why we not only need to educate top decision makers, but convince women that sales is their place to shine too.
