Episode 91: Interview With Nirvanna Lildharrie
Ashleigh and Sunanda are joined by Nirvanna Lildharrie, Senior Enterprise Account Executive at RippleMatch, to talk about in-person and virtual networking, leadership, and diversity in the workplace.
SHOW NOTESSunanda and Nirvanna
-Nirvanna attended a Women in Sales Everywhere Everywhere event in Boston, excited to connect with other femme-identifying Account Executives, but there were hardly any.
-Frustrated, she went on LinkedIn and searched for Account Executives in the area, adding the women she came across, which is how Nirvanna and Sunada met.
Networking
-Whether it’s LinkedIn connections, in-person events, or Zoom calls, finding the networking strategy that works for you is important.
Her Sales Journey
-Nirvanna didn’t take the SDR track. She began as an Account Executive in the advertising industry before crossing over into sales.
-It wasn’t until she started in her second sales position that she developed a love for the profession.
-And working specifically in SaaS is when she began to contemplate and see herself one day taking on managerial roles.
Advocating for Yourself
-After being passed over for a promotion she felt qualified for, Nirvanna started to be more vocal about what she wanted out of her career.
-It’s never too early in the hiring process to tell your interviewers what you want. In her interview with her new company, Nirvanna was upfront about wanting to be on a leadership track.
Leadership and “The Broken Rung”
-Leadership roles aren’t for everyone. Think about what you want and what the best position is for your skillset, not what you’re supposed to do.
-Across all industries, there are not enough women in leadership roles. This can be attributed to the crucial moments at the beginning of a woman’s career as they are continually passed over for promotions, slowing the overall pace of their career.
