In our inaugural podcast, Siri Chilazi, a gender equality expert and Harvard Kennedy School Research Fellow, speaks with female leaders from PAREXEL – Dr. Kemi Olugemo, Dr. Ubavka DeNoble, Aida Sabo, and Peyton Howell – in celebration of International Women’s Day. They discuss what it means to be a female leader in a STEM field and what challenges they have faced throughout their journeys, with the hope that their stories and lessons learned will inspire other young women currently rising through the ranks. They also dive into how their experiences at PAREXEL have influenced their leadership, and what the 2019 International Women’s Day motto of “Balance for Better” means to them.

Today, listen to the stories of the women you find appalling, the women who sound angry and bitter. ▪️ ▪️ Listen even if you don’t understand, listen without interruption, listen when it makes you uncomfortable. ▪️ ▪️ You’ll hear the pain in their voices once you finally pay attention. #iwd2019 #balanceforbetter #womenempowerment #womensday
