“If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less,” is the quote that Teena Piccione, Telco, Media & Entertainment, and Gaming Industries at Google Cloud, had printed on her team’s badges for an event.

Teena has always excelled at rising to a challenge and thinking outside the box. At 18, she struck out on her own, working her way through high school and college. She supported herself by working at UPS at 3 am every morning. Teena also concurrently excelled in music and technology — both taught her the importance of knowing your work inside and out. In this episode of Net Effects Podcast, co-host Mark Bavisotto chats with Teena about continual learning, thinking outside the box, and standing out as a female leader.
