Atlanta, GA
When and why did you join Accenture Digital?
I was drawn to Accenture because of the strong diversity and inclusion culture, the plethora of great clients, and the exciting promise and growth of Digital.
Describe your role at Accenture Digital.
I manage digital marketing strategies and client delivery processes, defining best practices, and executing operational excellence within the Digital Production and Content Services division.
How do you integrate your work life and personal life?
As a single mother of one, working at Accenture has been a perfect fit for me. I was skeptical at first, as my role was listed as an 80% travel role. What I will say is that for me it is the best of both worlds. I have come to enjoy my time away from home and the ability I have to truly focus on executing the job at hand. I love my job and it makes me happy.

I would say the team and people around me. At first, I had some apprehension to join a big company and be lost in the “crowd”... it is all to the contrary! At Accenture, through different events, we have the opportunity to interact with different people, learn from others, create, and innovate within small circles.

Consultant, Accenture Interactive
Amsterdam, NL

I work as a Consultant with a focus on Service and UX design. This can range from gathering user insights and mapping out customer journeys to visualizing concepts and implementation of the creative design. I’m doing this cross-industry for mostly eCommerce and app solutions.

Why is it important that women go into STEM fields? Why did you?
While studying at my University of Technology the male-female ratio was rather skewed; I’ve always been conscious of this issue. I strongly believe that diverse teams achieve better results, and that includes gender diversity. My decision to study Industrial Design Engineering came from my interest in combining users, business and technology to design creative solutions.

Women bring a unique perspective to the table regarding problems that many companies are trying to solve. There is a lot of value we can add based on our education and experience, so it's up to us to lean in and step up to these challenges. We are underrepresented in STEM fields – we must change this together!
