We’re kicking off Season 2 with our new co-host Suchi Srinivasan, an AI and digital expert and Managing Director and Partner at BCG Platinion. In this episode, Suchi takes us on the journey that led her to the top of a field that's straight out of science fiction.

Suchi grew up with a dad who worked as an engineer, and vividly remembers the tech he brought home with him from work. After her studies, she went on to work as a software engineer at the former Bell Telephone Laboratories, moving on to Microsoft during a time of huge change and innovation in the company. Suchi is passionate about using technology as a way to solve some of our world’s most complex and pressing challenges such as climate change.

In 2011 Suchi became one of the founding members of the Cleanweb Hackathon, a non-profit community-building event for global entrepreneurs and software developers. The goal was to drive IT-powered innovation and large-scale climate change impact. The event grew into an organization that boasted over 10,000 members across 25+ countries.

Suchi is also an advisor and sponsor for Women In Cloud, a community-led economic development organization taking collective action to generate $1B in new net economic access for women entrepreneurs and professionals by 2030.

A Seat at the Table with DataRobot’s Sirisha Kadamalakalva

Why is it so important to have a seat at the table? Sirisha Kadamalakalva shares how she’s straddled the worlds of investment banking and technology to become DataRobot’s first Chief Strategy Officer.

Sirisha began her career in tech as a software engineer at Oracle but decided to pursue a path in investment banking after completing her MBA at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. Beginning with a summer internship at Merrill Lynch, she rose through the ranks to become the first and only female Managing Director of Software Investment Banking in the entire company. Sirisha made the decision to have children early in her career but believes that her industry has become more accommodating of parents and family life.

Sirisha believes that there is still a lack of female role models in investment banking. Despite efforts to recruit more women into the industry, few are retained in senior positions.
