When I first joined, I was quiet and hesitant to share my thoughts. The leadership programs and the mentoring I’ve received have helped me find my voice and grow as a leader.

The entrepreneurial mindset here is infectious. When you take initiative, you get support. What matters the most is showing up and trying.

My journey has run parallel to Cognizant’s. When I joined, we were a $1B company with 20,000 people. Today we’re at $20B with 350,000 people. And yet the same sense of belonging has grown stronger.

Cognizant has one of the best learning ecosystems you can ask for. From sponsored certifications to training platforms to mentorship, we have all that we need to grow.
