HCL Technologies hosted a virtual Women Connect session for its Nordic Ideapreneurs.

The company invited data professional and public speaker, Vanessa Eriksson, to share her professional journey and her personal philosophy in a session titled "If you want something, go get it."

Empowering women to be true to themselves

Through her talk, Vanessa emphasized the need for HCL ideapreneurs to be true to themselves, be clear about what they want, and trust that they have got the talent to achieve big successes.

A mother of three girls, Vanessa is passionate about driving gender diversity, supporting women in leadership, and encouraging girls into technology roles.
