We asked Rosa—
Why Mia?
Before getting to know the Mia World, I had the chance to meet some amazing Mia Ladies. I felt instantly connected to these charismatic like minded women that, just like me, have been working so hard to shine in the Tech sector specifically; where the gender gap is quite wide.
Once I discovered the Mia platform capabilities and user experience it was clear to me that Mia is set up for success in unlocking economic opportunities for women globally and that I wanted to be part of this. That's why I am standing by Mia.
What is your superpower?
Resilience! Driven by ambition and a strong self-realization need, I have always taken courageous choices in my career and responded to adversities and failures with renewed strength and even more ambitious goals.
It is not a coincidence that I am a People and Change Management Expert, in fact my mission is to mitigate global organizations' workforce change fatigue resulting from technology driven transformations by empowering people resilience.
One motto or career tip you would like to share with the world
Better done than perfect! I strongly believe that this should be every woman's mantra.
I think that women are culturally under a lot of pressure to be 'perfect', we might be more risk averse than men because we socially face more consequences for failing and we are often supposed to make our choices taking into consideration not only our interest but also the needs of our family.
In a safe environment like Mia, you can take risks and be a doer! By expanding the reach of realities like Mia, we will impact the way us women work, love and live.
We are thrilled to welcome Rosa to the Mia team! Her extensive experience and commitment to empowering women globally align perfectly with our mission.
We look forward to working together to close the skills gap and build a brighter future for women in emerging technologies.
