McAfee Employees Share How They #PressForProgress on International Women’s Day

By Karla, Digital Media Specialist

During the month of March, we’re excited to support International Women’s Day (March 8) and Women’s History Month. At McAfee, we recognize the power of an inclusive and diverse culture and are proud to celebrate the achievements of our trailblazing female colleagues worldwide. And of course, no group is more passionate about doing so than our Women in Security (WISE) Community.

WISE is a global network committed to supporting the growth, empowerment, and success of women at McAfee. As part of this year’s International Women’s Day call to action, our WISE community are leading by example and sharing their own #PressForProgress moments to help inspire and encourage others in their careers.

See some of the examples below and submit your own #PressForProgress moments in the comment box below!

In my 13 years at McAfee, I started as a software developer, moved to customer support, and then relocated from Waterloo, Canada to Bangalore to take on a new leadership opportunity.”

 

 

Rachel O’Brien – Staffing Manager (Ireland)

“Each day, I have the unique opportunity to #PressForProgress through the Cork GROW program, where I teach the techniques I learned from Personal Management Coaching courses I attended at UCC.

Silvana Ghigo – Administrative Support (Argentina)

Darlene Connelly – Software Sales Engineer (US)

“Since joining McAfee in 2016, I’ve been fortunate enough to share my experience as an Enterprise Technology Specialist with our customers. Each day, I get to #PressForProgress and add value to our customers through my health check findings.”

 

 

Tiffanie Williams – Director, Market Research (US)

“At McAfee, I’m continuously presented opportunities that challenge my limits and set new boundaries.  I #PressForProgress by consciously laying the groundwork for my successor while preparing myself for the next growth opportunity that lays before me.”
