From Roadblocks to Roadmaps: Women's Inspiring Tech & Auto Trajectories
summary
Two women map concrete moves: one leads a 170-person org that runs Salesforce for 5–6k users across sales, marketing and contact centers and is piloting generative AI in contact centers to boost productivity; the other builds and scales a physical damage-analysis imaging tunnel for auction yards, delivering image packages and automated damage reports and rolling a repeatable deployment template across sites. Expect lessons on measurable impact, tooling choices, and how those projects actually deploy and scale.
