Quotes "Embrace your potential, seek out allies, and never underestimate the impact of your presence. Your journey may have its twists and turns, but remember, within every challenge lies an opportunity for greatness" International Women’s Day 2024: In conversation with Cecilia Harvey,05 March,2024 “The technology industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world.  As a result of this fast growth there is the need to attract top talent and that requires a diverse group of resources to attract such talent. Diverse teams are more creative and bring different perspectives on how to solve problems. So it’s not surprising that there is a strong correlation between diverse companies and strong financial results. When the employees of an organization better represent their current users and target users, they will develop better technology for those users.” Cecilia Harvey Brings #BlackGirlMagic to Tech! "Create Options for Yourself" "Surround Yourself with Positive People" "Be a Boss. Think Like an Owner" Cecilia Harvey "first of all you should never think of yourself as being different from anybody else. And that’s one of the most empowering things that I think that anyone can do, is that you’re entitled to the same opportunities as anybody else and I think that that change in mindset is very empowering" "You’re making your journey, definitely help other people along the way with their journey. To teach is to lead and to learn, and I think that that’s an important thing that people should always continue throughout their career. Not only are you helping somebody within their journey, but you’re also getting something out if it in terms of developing your leadership capabilities – and that’s a wonderful way to give back to an organization" "One should never be afraid to take a risk and really just give it a go and try something new, a completely different experience" CitiGroup COO Cecilia Harvey Helping Women ‘Bring Fire’,June 16, 2015 External Links Category:Living people Category:Authors Category:Founders Category:Chief executive officers Category:Women in technology
