The Seat at the Table: From Technical Leadership to Strategic Influence
Wednesday, June 17, 2026 (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM) (EDT)
Description
Join the Tampa Bay Tech InnovatHERS & Allies Council on June 17th for an engaging leadership luncheon focused on the evolving role of women in technology leadership and the journey from technical leadership into broader strategic influence across the business.
Technology leaders today are expected to drive transformation, influence business strategy, lead teams, manage budgets, and shape innovation across the enterprise. Yet many professionals, especially women in technology, spend years being recognized for execution while still working to gain visibility and influence at the decision making table.
This discussion will explore:
- Building executive presence and influence
- Navigating leadership visibility and organizational dynamics
- Moving beyond execution into strategic decision making
- Owning transformation initiatives, roadmaps, and business outcomes
- Developing a stronger voice at the leadership table
We are excited to welcome an incredible panel of technology leaders, including:
- Anjali Ahuja, VP of Enterprise Applications at Iron Mountain
- Tracey Tran, Global IT Director at Jabil
Moderated by: Modupe Deen, Portfolio Operations & Technology Transformation leader at White & Case
Hear firsthand insights, lessons learned, career pivots, challenges, and strategies from leaders who are helping shape the future of technology leadership and influence within their organizations.
Designed for current and aspiring technology leaders looking to expand their impact, influence, and leadership presence within their organizations.
Lunch will be provided thanks to StevenDouglas!
