Women of Risk Community

Technology is critical for the Women of Risk Community.

We must be aware of the technologies that are emerging in the industry, and how we manage risks associated with those.

In addition, we leverage technology to make sure that we collaborate around the globe as part of the Women of Risk Community.

So it's really both making sure we're aware of what technology is doing in the world and how we address risks associated with that as well as leveraging it to make sure  that we are sharing our ideas and collaborating.

It's really important for everyone to have a mentor throughout their career.

Regardless of your profession or whether it's in your personal life it's really super important to have someone to help guide you, to be able to bounce questions off, to go to someone.

Your mentors might change throughout your career depending on what stage of life you’re in but it's really important to know that somebody has the ability to show you differing points of view.

So I've worked in technology for over 20 years, and given the nature of what I do, for most of my career, my colleagues, my leaders, and my clients have been predominately men.

But we're at a really exciting time now where there's more and more young women coming into technology, and it's such an exciting time to work together, to learn together, and to build new capabilities to take to our clients.

It's also a really exciting time in the market with emerging technologies becoming more and more important as our clients face disruption and embark on their own digital transformation journeys.

So being able to lead this group of women focused on emerging technologies in this new time of disruption, is such an exciting time for me at KPMG.
