FYPC007: Rajni Roshan, IBM & Girls in Tech

Rajni Roshan has over a decade of experience in the tech industry and she is passionate about technology solutions that have social impact. She moved to San Diego a year ago from UK, where she was a Client Solutions Manager for emerging technologies at IBM. She's a strong advocate for young girls and women in STEM as the Program Director of Girls in Tech San Diego, a non-profit focused on supporting women in tech. She also regularly takes time out to mentor other women in the tech industry. She went from software developer, to the business of IBM in mergers and acquisitions to client solutions. “I’ve always followed what I’ve been most interested in…I knew that I didn’t want to stay a developer all my life and I tried to find ways to get closer to my goal,” said Rajni. These new career opportunities didn’t just fall into Rajni’s lap though. “I looked out, I reached out, I found out about what else was going on and I started chasing down those opportunities,” she said. Find out how Rajni took initiative to follow her passion. Download my podcast interview with Rajni here on iTunes!
