In this insightful session with Dr. Ruba Borno, we uncovered the transformative power of mentorship and diverse leadership in tech. Ruba shared her remarkable journey from an electrical engineer to the Channel Chief at Amazon Web Services (AWS), inspiring us with her commitment to lifelong learning and her approach to intentional mentorship—for a reason, a season, and for life. She highlighted the importance of finding your voice and how seeking help, along with mastering communication, can propel your career forward. We delved into her four pillars of effective leadership: empathy, emotional intelligence, resilience, and accountability, and learned how these are essential in creating a culture of inclusivity and psychological safety.
