ASCENSO and Latinas in Tech Present: A Seat at the Table
Join ASCENSO, Latinas in Tech, and Familia@IBM NYC for an exclusive Hispanic Heritage Month event designed for mid-to senior-level professionals looking to navigate the next era of career growth in an AI-powered world hosted at the IBM Auditorium at One Madison Ave.
In this digital age, success is no longer about execution, but about knowing what to prioritize, influencing decisions, building the right relationships, and creating value in ways that machines can’t. Getting to the next title change requires a very different playbook than the one that earned your last promotion. This panel convenes senior leaders in tech and professional services for a candid discussion of how to navigate this environment.
Panelists
Jazzlyn Feliciano, Director, Strategy & Enablement Leader, EY
Stefany Bello, SVP Digital Partnerships, Mastercard
Niurka Quinteros, Sr Technology Sales Leader, IBM
Moderator: Penelope Silva, VP of Product, Morgan Stanley
Designed for mid to senior professionals (6–12 years in), this session moves beyond foundational networking advice to address the less-discussed dynamics of career advancement and the impact of technology with an emphasis on practical next steps:
The shift from operator to leader — What changes when you move from execution to setting the strategy, internally and externally
Building career capital — Practical strategies to network, gain sponsorship, and negotiate to create opportunities and accelerate your trajectory
Reaching for the next level — Identify which habits, skills, and instincts prepare you for the ambiguity and scope increase and make your leadership undeniable
Owning your career growth — Applying entrepreneurial thinking to your role and career trajectory, independent of formal title or function
Leading in the digital age — How is AI changing the way we work, what skills are becoming more valuable, the importance of tech fluency
Authentic executive presence — Developing the confidence to bring your full point of view into rooms where decisions get made as a professional advantage.
This evening will feature a moderate panel discussion, audience Q&A, and networking reception with peers, executives and community leaders.
Come for an honest conversation about career growth in a rapidly changing world; stay for a reception designed to turn new connections into lasting ones.
