This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating all the ladies at Cohesity and all around the globe! For over a century, IWD has focused on the achievements and contributions of women throughout time, and has reflected on the work that remains to further gender equality. This year’s theme “Press for Progress” conveys a powerful message to press forward and progress gender parity which Cohesity supports.
From our HQ in downtown San Jose, California, we’re celebrating this year’s IWD by hosting an internal #GirlsinTech event. Through #LadyBrags, we will share our achievements, nominate colleagues who made a difference, and demonstrate through example how we can inspire one another to do better. To see all the fun at HQ, check out the #CohesityIWD hashtag and follow along as Cohesians celebrate IWD on Twitter!
Now here comes my favorite part of writing this blog post. Similar to last year, I would like to recognize a few of the talented women at Cohesity from different departments who contributed to the success we have today!

What do you do at Cohesity? I head the EMEA Field Marketing at Cohesity. I am happy to lead a team of ladies, which is very rare in IT in EMEA still. The thing I really like about our company beside the great team spirit, is that we have a great technological approach.
Fun Fact: I LOVE HATS. At Cohesity I already wear 2 hats, but in my personal life even more: the Mum hat, the wife hat, the basketball player hat, the basketball coach hat, and the love driving fast cars hat.
