Businesswoman

I want to leave Accenture better than I found it. I am focused on investing our people, our community and effective diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Diversity is critical to our business outcomes.

It takes work to figure out how to bank on your phone, how to sign up for classes, how to connect in a community.

My dad painted cars for a living. He didn't graduate from high school.

You can be in Shanghai on a Thursday, London on Friday, and in bed at home by Friday night.

I'm driven by making an impact on the individuals I interact with and leveraging my success to give back to the world.

I want to have a really big impact on my kids, my community, and my company.

We want the brand of Accenture to be innovation.

An employee, even a very junior person, if they can articulately summarize a meeting, if they can put together a presentation and even emails that are really salient and to the point, they are so valued.

The government needs to invest in raising digital fluency of its citizenry.

I think there is a general view that sustainability is really important. I do think it is a top priority. I don't know that it's the top priority.

You can't expect leaders and people to be intentional, take the steps that are needed, and be a part of making progress if you're not willing to be transparent about where we are and where we want to go.

What you want is to have women at the same pace as men doing tech immersion. It's not that every woman has to do it, but to close the gap, you need to have them do it at the same pace as men.

We're supposed to be bringing out-of-the-box thinking and innovation, and you cannot do that unless you've got diversity... It's everything from gender to ethnicity to geographic diversity.

We're smarter and more innovative when we're diverse.

Companies, communities and governments have to be innovators, and they cannot do it alone.

Every year, I spend time to improve how I communicate.

The U.S. may be behind on family-friendly benefits, but I see it's changing, because we're all facing a talent war.

There is a high school trap where girls get lost in computing.

My parents believed in the American dream and the power of education, but didn't have the money to send me to college. I realized early on that I needed to go against the flow and be better than everyone else to support my family.
