What does it take for a Latina woman from Venezuela to move to Colombia and then the US to create MAS Impact in the world of tech? For Ana María Guzmán Méndez, it was the sound of programming class to become a software engineer, which was music to her ears!
It also helped that her father was one of the first software engineers in Venezuela and that her brother and sister (with backgrounds in IT) were encouraging her to leave the troubled petroleum industry behind and link up with MAS Global Consulting.
Ana's insights into the resilience required to become one of those diverse voices in tech that we celebrate on this show is truly inspiring, as is her appreciation of the power of humility in order to collaborate with members of your tech team.
In an ever-expanding AI universe, Ana and host Monica also unpack the importance of remaining curious as a software engineer, learning to embrace change, and using the available tools to help you grow.
Please join us in this empathic conversation between two Latina women in tech who have learned what it truly means to believe in yourself and your abilities as you learn a new language and start a new career in America, the land of opportunity. Please join us!
