5. Concepción Prado, Leader and Technologist, on Finding Her Voice
Coming from a family of Mexican Immigrants, where speaking up and even going to college were not the norm, Concepción Prado found her voice by breaking the rules and following her heart. As a leader in IT technology and management, she uses her company to create jobs, contribute to economic growth, and discover methods to creatively improve efficiency through technology.
In this episode, she shares how she spoke up after being sexually harassed as a young consultant and later chose to be a single mother instead of waiting for the perfect life circumstances to follow society’s rules. She is the proud mother of two, an entrepreneur, and a strong networker.
