Diana Tucker is the pinnacle of what working mothers can achieve. She’s the MuleSoft Channels and Alliances Director for ANZ and JPAC. This would be a highly challenging role on its own, yet, somehow, she manages to do it while raising 4 children.

In this episode we cover:

• Diana’s career journey from Project Manager, to Director of Channels and Alliances, Australia and New Zealand at Mulesoft – including how she accelerated her career after having kids
• How saying yes to opportunities that scared her resulted in career success
• We discuss how some of her male mentors helped accelerate her career, and the most important characteristic a male ally can learn to support women in the workplace
• Diana shares her experience in attempting to stop work multiple times to be a full time Mum, and why she ended up returning back to work
• Diana provides some great practices she uses to manage her career in tech, with her duties as a Mum
• She shares her advice for women who experience guilt after returning from maternity leave, leaving their child at daycare, leaving work early, or missing their child when they’re sick
• How Mulesoft helped expectant mothers and parents
• The benefits working mothers provide an organisation
