Tell us about your background and how you got involved with Salesforce Women\u2019s Network.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before Salesforce, I worked at the global consulting firm McKinsey on various diversity initiatives including their annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/diversity-and-inclusion\/women-in-the-workplace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Women in the Workplace<\/a> report. The report outlines women\u2019s career ambitions and how organizations can advance women and improve gender diversity in the workplace. I was a subject matter expert in Australia and New Zealand and was responsible for taking the findings and making a difference for women in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, I joined Salesforce, and after about six months at the company, I wanted to find a way to give back. A mentor I was working with at the time encouraged me to get involved directly with SWN in Australia and New Zealand, and then later with some initiatives at the Asia-Pacific (APAC) regional level. Over time, I became the APAC regional vice president for SWN and joined the global board. That was three years ago, and I\u2019ve been a part of SWN ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-what-motivates-you-to-advocate-for-women-in-tech\"><strong>Q.

I\u2019m passionate about changing that for others.

What\u2019s your vision as President of Salesforce Women\u2019s Network?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I want women to know they belong in every room they enter. I also believe what we see is what we become, which is why I\u2019m so passionate about having equal representation at the executive level. Salesforce\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/salesforce-women-non-binary-hiring-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">global gender goal<\/a> to reach 40% women and non-binary employees globally by the end of 2026 is one of the ways we&#8217;ll get there. Beyond that, the SWN continues to strive for gender parity in all aspects of the workplace<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our main priority this year is to continue the momentum of some of the amazing programs we launched last year. These include quarterly all-hands calls with Salesforce executives, global tours in local hubs, a recognition program called Women of Impact, events and programming for Women\u2019s History Month, and most importantly, a focus on upskilling, especially around AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is impacting every industry and <a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/blog\/news\/new-slack-research-shows-accelerating-ai-use-at-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the way we work<\/a>. We want women to be able to step into meetings and contribute to conversations about how AI affects their role and their customers. Later this month, we\u2019re hosting a Women in AI Day, where we\u2019ll bring in expert speakers and host panels that focus on skill-building, ethics, equality, accessibility, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re also focused on helping our members develop soft skills, such as negotiating, presenting, networking, engaging with executives, and personal brand building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul

and members of SWN\u2019s global board participate in Salesforce\u2019s Global Equality Leadership Summit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-what-are-some-of-the-challenges-women-face-and-how-does-swn-help\"><strong>Q. What are some of the challenges women face and how does SWN help?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m committed to making sure SWN is where women find strength in community. Many of the members of Salesforce Women\u2019s Network are caregivers who have to balance work with their responsibilities at home, which has become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/atus.nr0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increasingly difficult<\/a> in this era of hybrid work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our events celebrate women, help them build community, and empower them with resources to navigate everything they\u2019re juggling. For example, we often partner with Salesforce\u2019s benefits and employee success teams to help explain what benefits are available to them and how they can prioritize their mental health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-why-is-it-important-for-women-to-have-a-seat-at-the-table\"><strong>Q. Why is it important for women to have a seat at the table?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well first, it\u2019s absolutely the right thing to do! Our leadership and decisions must have equal representation, and our workplace should reflect the communities we live in and the customers we serve. One of the main reasons I joined Salesforce is because of its commitment to Equality as a value since its founding 25 years ago. I\u2019m proud to be living that value every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>One of the main reasons I joined Salesforce is because of its commitment to Equality as a value since its founding 25 years ago. I\u2019m proud to be living that value every day.<\/p>\n<cite>Shreya Sethi, Regional Vice President of Sales and Global President of SWN<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also the smart thing to do. Women have unique ideas, skills, and abilities to contribute to the workplace. McKinsey estimates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/diversity-and-inclusion\/diversity-wins-how-inclusion-matters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diverse teams outperform non-diverse ones<\/a> by 25%. There are studies that also show that gender equality can add <a href=\"https:\/\/initiatives.weforum.org\/accelerators-network\/gender-parity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$12 trillion to global GDP<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2023\/10\/research-firms-with-diverse-boards-achieve-higher-esg-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">companies with diverse boards<\/a> embrace more sustainable business practices. These are all more reasons to speed up our progress and push ourselves to achieve more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-what-s-the-most-surprising-or-unexpected-thing-you-ve-learned-during-your-time-as-a-leader\"><strong>Q. What&#8217;s the most surprising or unexpected thing you&#8217;ve learned during your time as a leader?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imposter syndrome is real \u2014 irrespective of your level. I have imposter syndrome. But most surprising has been realizing what can break it. I have worked with many phenomenal, strong leaders on the SWN board, but often they underestimate themselves. Once you push them a little and show faith and belief in them, they learn, grow, and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also blown away by how many women want to give back to the community. Participating in Salesforce Women\u2019s Network is volunteer-based, and we regularly find ways to volunteer with our local communities. Watching all of these women around me juggle all that\u2019s on their plates is inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-getting-to-know-shreya\"><strong>Getting to Know Shreya<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What is your favorite book on leadership?<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/167558919-centered-leadership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Centered Leadership<\/em><\/a> is a book that I often go back and reread.
