Women on Wednesday with Sierra Weltha
- Sierra Weltha, Associate Product Marketing Manager at Precisely, has revealed why she chose a technology career, who her mentors have been, and how they have helped her.
- Advocating for women in tech, Precisely’s Women in Technology (PWIT) network provides a space for women in the organization to connect and learn from one another.
- Diverse teams in the technology industry, which includes more women than ever, perform better, according to CIO magazine. The gender gap still needs to be bridged.
- Sierra has found that imposter syndrome has been one of the challenges of being a woman in tech and, like everyone else, has faced occasions where she has wondered whether her gender had played a role in certain situations.
- She has learned that self-conviction is important, with lessons from her mentors providing her with clarity and resilience in times of challenge.
- Sierra has taken risks throughout her career, including changing jobs, exploring new industries and recognising when to say no to certain opportunities.
- Her best advice was to understand herself and focus on what aligns with her goals and values, while personality assessments have helped her gain perspective.
- Sierra encourages younger women entering the industry to have confidence, commit to growth and take risks, and to share positivity and confidence with others.
- She pays tribute to those who support and encourage her, celebrating the accomplishments, following up on conversations and participating in groups such as Precisely Women in Technology.
- Sierra believes that success is far more rewarding when it is shared with others and hopes to create an environment where women feel empowered to reach their fullest potential.
