It\u2019s truly special that Women\u2019s History Month takes place in March when the spring season kicks off. Spring is known as a time for renewal, when the flowers start to bloom, and we start to have more sunshine with longer and brighter days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It creates an opportunity for us to redefine our next season as we recover from the winter, start new adventures, hopefully become more resilient through various challenges and welcome an \u201cout with old, in with the new\u201d mentality. And for Women\u2019s History Month 2024 here at Commvault, we had exciting and inspiring sessions that brought us together to discuss how to not only support, but empower, women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was very intentional for us to shine a light on our continued commitment to investing in women in their personal and professional journeys. Our Women in Technology (WIT) Employee Resource Group (ERG) brings together both women and allies to elevate and advance gender equality in technology and celebrate the inspiring women of Commvault who are driving our innovation and growth every day. Our global WIT ERG organized remarkable sessions that focused on wellness, growth, allyship, career and leadership development. We hosted events in India, Australia and the United States that were available to all employees for virtual participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, we had a Fireside Chat with Board Member Allison Pickens and our Chief People Officer, Martha Delehanty. With Allison\u2019s extensive experience as an investor in Artificial Intelligence (AI), data and vertical application companies, she provided valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of being a woman in a predominantly male-dominated field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drawing from her role as a COO thought partner, Allison discussed topics such as go-to-market strategies, category creation and scaling businesses, offering empowering advice for women navigating similar male-dominated career paths. She also highlighted the importance of Commvault\u2019s focus on a culture of inclusion and support for working moms and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
