Women In Leadership – Part 3

From New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, to Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen, women leaders have delivered inspiring leadership during the ongoing pandemic. Our ‘Women In Leadership’ series features senior executives who steadied the ship, capitalised on opportunities, and have kept innovation on the boil over the last two years. In interviews with InterGlobix Magazine’s Founder and Editor-in-Chief Jasmine Bedi, seven women leaders discuss the challenges and opportunities that have arisen since March 2020, the importance of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the evolving role of women in the industry.

In the following pages, we have Microsoft’s Noelle Walsh on forging a path to net zero; Meta’s Rachel Peterson’s views on the future of data center build outs; Verizon Business’s Tami Erwin on the coming age of 5G; AirTrunk’s Dana Adams’ global outlook on the industry; E2 Optics’ Kristi Alford-Haarberg on riding the hyperscale wave; Virginia Commonwealth University’s Barbara Boyan on expanding existing educational pathways in STEM; and NVTC’s Jennifer Taylor’s plans to create a diverse workforce.
