What an incredible evening at BAO’s panelist event this past Wednesday, co-hosted with UIC Business! Big thanks to our panelists, Sanjib Das, Vikalp Mehta, Umar Mohammad, Archit Shorey, Shubham Khode, who brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the discussion. They highlighted the latest trends in business analytics, essential skills to master, and strategies for building a meaningful career.

Building a brighter financial future takes collaboration. It was great attending an event where we witnessed how Google Cloud is proudly partnered with Discover Financial Services in their mission to provide financial access and opportunity for all. BAO members loved witnessing the panel engage in a passionate discussion about the concrete steps we, women and men alike, can take now to close the gender gap in tech leadership. The conversation emphasized the importance of mentorship, advocacy, and creating inclusive spaces to foster growth for women in the industry. Huge thanks to the Discover team for planning and organizing such a meaningful and inspiring event! We’re looking forward to more events that bring the tech community together to drive change
