Shake off the mid week blues & join us for this unique series & networking event where exceptional, human-first leaders pull back the curtain on their career journeys.
Hosted by founder of Herizon, Christina Lewis, explores why some of the smartest minds believe an inclusive, people-centric approach isn't a nice to have—it's the defining driver for success.
Speaker Introduction
What does a truly successful leader look like in the world of AI and Tech?
Join us for a candid conversation with Neynes Ladha. With a career that spans from aerospace engineering to Vice President for tech giants like Anaplan, Finastra, and BT- Neynes embodies human-first leadership.
A son of immigrant parents and an aerospace engineer by training, Neynes brings a unique perspective to the boardroom of tech giants Anaplan. He navigates the complexities of ambition and empathy, proving that the most resilient teams are built on a foundation of trust, not just targets.
What we'll cover:
The Allyship Journey: Neynes personal story of getting allyship wrong, listening, and moving forward with humility and intent.
Building Long Term Success: Strategies for building sustainable, long-term success. Why it’s not necessarily about hard and fast wins, but a human-first approach that ensures the entire team is on the journey with you.
The Power of Partnership: What happens when you have two professional powerhouses under one roof? Neynes talks navigating married life with children when you are both ambitious, operating as a team and why sometimes that means stepping back to let the other step forward.
Defining Career Paths: Neynes shares how he has to date, navigated his career like a game of chess, thinking one move ahead and how he’s course-corrected the challenges.
Plus, there's plenty of time to get social (pun intended) too with networking and drinks.
