In the spirit of Women’s History Month, Aimee Catalano, a Google Cloud leader devoted to fostering inclusion, shares her insights on thriving in the tech industry. Catalano emphasizes that kindness is a transformative force. By embracing compassion in our interactions and encouraging others to do the same, we create workplaces where everyone feels valued and capable of reaching their full potential. Instead of passively waiting for recognition, Catalano urges women to proactively build their confidence and take initiative. This involves actively participating in discussions, sharing ideas, and addressing challenges that others might overlook. These proactive actions not only inspire inclusivity but also open doors to exciting opportunities.
