Working alongside Dean has been an inspiring journey that has reshaped my perspective on leadership and empowerment in the tech industry. As a woman navigating the often male-dominated landscape of technology, finding mentorship from someone as accomplished and dedicated as Dean has been invaluable.
Under Dean’s guidance, I have not only honed my academic profile through the training Dean has supported, but have also grown into a confident leader. Through regular one-on-one sessions and insightful feedback, Dean has provided me with the guidance and support needed to navigate complex challenges and seize opportunities for growth. His unwavering belief in my potential has empowered me to go for promotions with conviction, knowing that my unique perspective as a woman in tech is not only valued but essential for driving innovation and progress.
Dean has also been very vocal about his passion for his team’s wellbeing and work-life balance, and he encourages me to implement healthy habits at the start of my career that will benefit me in the long run. As a rising leader in technology, there is often the misconception that long hours and stress is inevitable to achieve success. Dean is teaching me that taking time for your mental and physical wellbeing is vital, and he is the champion in this area that every young leader needs.
As a result of Dean’s mentorship, I have not only advanced in my career but have also become a vocal advocate for accelerating female growth in the tech community. Dean exemplifies the kind of leader who not only achieves success personally but also invests deeply in the success of those around them. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a visionary leader and am proud to continue on my journey as a female tech leader, inspired by his example.
