I have been with Pitney Bowes for the last 14 years, starting as an intern and growing into my current role as a Strategic Program Manager, a position I have held for the past 3 years. I focus on all high-profile strategic programs of the organization, whether it is complete technology transformation, sales transformation, ERP transformation, or very complex business processes. Before becoming a program manager, I was an IT project manager with a focus on cross-functional applications and business processes, working more on the platform and technology side. The difference now is I work more closely with business on all these business transformation processes, collaborating directly with C-level executives and our president. I came to the United States in 2009 for my Master's degree, completely new to the country with nobody I knew here, but I had a desire to pursue my higher education. I joined Pitney Bowes as an intern, and through hard work and dedication, I have received a lot of good experience working with many leaders. I learned American corporate culture and was fortunate to have many mentors, especially Americans, who helped me through all the steps in my career. The inclusion culture of the company allowed me and helped me tremendously. Now I am at a leadership position where I work with C-level executives and the president on all business processes, simplification, and transformation. Last year, we completed a huge SaaS transformation program, and the president of the company gave me the Oscar award in front of the whole organization, recognizing me as the next great leader coming up.
