In conversation with Vidya Iyer, Founder, and CEO of Unbound Solutions on her mission to empower women.  Women traditionally have had to take breaks from careers due to various reasons including parenting and family priorities. Getting back to the workforce after a gap is often riddled with a lack of opportunity. This is primarily due to hiring managers having concerns about the loss of skills during the gap years.  Unbound solutions provide Agile scrum master training that's helping women come back to the workplace after gap years.  Unbound through its services is helping customers access a talented pool of professionals equipped with the latest Agile methods.  We get behind the scenes of this amazing entrepreneurial journey with a mission.
