Senior Manager, Strategic Initiatives

Hi!
I’m Tabby, I’m a senior manager of strategic initiatives for a large localization firm. I work on philanthropy, DE&I, and anything else that flags as a priority in the organization.
I joined because I love hearing about other industries and people’s pathways to jobs they love.
I’m hoping to connect with people who enjoy creative problem solving and making progress on social justice matters.

So great to learn more about your work, Tabby! So many organizations are finally getting serious about DE&I work and it's exciting to see.

Hello everyone! I'm Heidi and I work in the pharma/biotech industry either on the Medical Affairs side or the Commercial side of the business. I'm currently in transition and seeking a new role. In the meantime, I've found a few opportunities to volunteer for a patient advocacy org that was created for traumatic brain injury patients. I have also just signed up to mentor pharmacy students interested in working in the Industry/Company side of pharmacy as well as just starting with another group to mentor young women who are early on in their careers. I look forward to "meeting" you all!
Heidi

Manufacturer in San Diego

Hello my fellow wonderful women! My name is Nora and I’m a budding manufacturer in San Diego. In all honesty, joined this network because I didn’t have any mentors, friends, or people in my life that support what I do and acknowledge how hard I work. It felt like I was on an island alone, and I needed help and emotional support.
I have always been the one trying to help others, and I’m just happy to be part of a community where we all are here for each other and for each other’s mutual benefit. FYI, my company uses a proprietary production process to produce fine leather goods (such as handbags) and we are looking to expand into fine jewelry and watches too. Other professionals here that are in the luxury good or fashion accessories industries, please reach out! I would love to hear your opinions :)
