Her Interview
Ten minutes with Ramya
01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Just try it, don't overthink it. Just give it a try. Putting one foot in front of the other will take you in the direction that you would want. Believe in yourself first, and only then other people will see that.
02What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
In the world of AI, we are venturing into the unknowns with uncertainty, but that's also a big opportunity to invent what cybersecurity means, to be better leaders, and focus on what serves humanity rather than fearing job loss.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity is very important - be the person that you speak. Lead from the heart, appreciate the effort people are putting in, and be a good person. There's no boundary between enjoying team accomplishments and family.
