Shanthi Padmanabhan
VP, Customer Success, Salesforce India
“While re-skilling is most definitely the order of the day, for individuals to sustain competition and stay relevant. It is also essential to connect with peer groups and mentors, who can support and enable your growth on both personal and professional fronts. At Salesforce, we have programs that aim to amplify the progress of women in every step of their journey. We achieve this through professional and personal development, allyship, supportive connections, and taking action on gender equality.
The pandemic has shown us how working collaboratively can mutually benefit all team members. Be it a personal or professional hurdle an individual is trying to overcome, this period has taught me the importance of being an empathetic leader. After spending a considerable amount of life chasing both my professional and personal goals, my one key takeaway would be that - you need to challenge yourself constantly and be open to new opportunities.”
