Hydra Mendoza shared her experiences as a woman of color in the world of business. She is the chief of strategic relationships for Salesforce, a position that was created specifically due to her kind and compassionate character. She also served in office for the San Francisco education board, serving as its first and only Filipina for 3 terms. She is the only vice president of color out of 0f 11 and one of 3 women VPs in Salesforce. She describes Salesforce as a company that values safety and equality for its employees above all else and is very committed to sticking to its DEI values.
I liked this event a lot; it made me find Salesforce endearing, and I would love to work with a company that values its staff greatly. I believe that more tech companies should strive to be like them.
A quote by Mendoza stuck with me: “Talent is universal, opportunity is not”.
