Pursuing passions and progress.

On today’s edition of Up To Speed we celebrated International Women in Engineering Day.

We’re proud to have a diverse group of women engineers on the V Team whose contributions are building the future. We shared a video featuring:

• Head of Industry 4.0 Product and Technology Innovation Mrinalini Lakshminarayanan,
• Distinguished Engineer, Product Engineering Dan Sun,
• Sr.Technical Project Manager, Verizon Connect Trish Winslow,
• Technical Project Manager, Verizon Connect Svitlana Samko,
• Product Development Director Laura H. Cochran, and
• Sr. Manager, Business Operations Chief of Staff, Device Technology Mariel Hamre.

This powerful group of women shared what inspired them to pursue a career in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM); challenges they overcame, such as pay disparity and building self-confidence; and advice for the next generation of women in tech. Read more about their inspiring stories here.

If you know a woman in Engineering and you’d like to celebrate them today, be sure to share a shout out to them in the comments!
