Zeta Global

Zeta prioritizes inclusivity during the holidays by hosting educational and cultural sessions through our employee resource groups. These sessions spotlight diverse celebrations and foster understanding, unity and meaningful conversations. For instance, MOSAIC, our ERG for employees and allies of Asian and Pacific Islander descent, hosted a vibrant, virtual Diwali celebration; while Pride facilitated discussions on navigating the holidays as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

These initiatives create a supportive space where everyone can feel seen and valued, making the season brighter for all.

The holiday season at Zeta reflects our core virtues of inclusivity, generosity and community. Through ZetaGives, employees nominate their favorite charities, with four selected organizations receiving donations to advance their missions. Additionally, our annual Toys for Tots drive unites employees in bringing joy to children in need.

These initiatives embody the spirit of giving and connection, showcasing Zeta's commitment to making a positive impact. At Zeta, we're proud to foster a culture where celebrating diversity and giving back go hand in hand, strengthening our bond as a team and with our communities.

Being a woman in engineering has been a mix of excitement, growth and constant learning to stay up to date with the latest technology trends in the industry. Early on, I felt a lot of pressure to "know it all," but over time, I've learned to embrace the idea that it's OK not to have all the answers — and to ask for help when I need it.

Challenges can sometimes bring you down, but those experiences have helped me become more resilient. Leading a team has given me a sense of purpose beyond myself. It's not just about my success, but about lifting others up and helping the team grow together.

Personally, as a working mother, Zeta has been very supportive in terms of remote work, helping me balance work and family responsibilities.

From early in my career, I've aspired to grow into an architect — designing scalable systems and making key technical decisions. At Zeta, I've had the opportunity to work toward that goal, with strong mentorship from senior architects and exposure to cutting-edge projects.

I've learned enormously by working closely with other talented engineers, architects and senior leaders who inspire me every day. Zeta actively supports growth through structured online and in-person courses, training and internal mobility across teams and tech stacks for hands-on learning.

Throughout my seven years at Zeta, I've always felt that growth opportunities and career paths were equally accessible, regardless of gender. I've been encouraged to participate in forums and discussions with the same level of support as anyone else.

I was also fortunate to be given the opportunity to relocate internationally to work in Silicon Valley.

My advice to women in engineering is to look beyond the job description and pay close attention to how the company values people. Does the team encourage diverse perspectives? Are voices heard and contributions recognized, regardless of gender or title?

A company should promote a strong team culture that encourages collaboration over competition and support individuals when they hit roadblocks. Be open to asking questions during interviews about mentorship, growth paths and team dynamics. In the tech industry, where women are still a minority, being in a supportive environment can make all the difference in helping you thrive in your career.
