In this season, we're shining a spotlight on the trailblazers in the tech industry, both established veterans and emerging talents, who are pushing the boundaries of innovation. I'm your host, Ceci Fischer-Benitez, and together, we'll explore their successes, understand the challenges they've faced, and dive into the unique experiences that have guided their tech careers. 

This week on the Chicago Techies Podcast as we extend a warm welcome to Alexandria DeLuca, Talent Solutions Manager at P33. Alex joins us to share her career journey from her early days at Penn State, to  the invaluable experiences that shaped her perspective, and the serendipity that led her to a city ripe with opportunity.  

Alex  lays out the roadmap for navigating such transitions, highlighting the strategic importance of networking, self-reflection, and recognizing transferable skills that can catapult you into a fulfilling new chapter. Alex's passion for her work shines through as she reflects on her personal growth and the various experiences that have shaped her career.

We also take a magnifying glass to pivotal programs that are reshaping Chicago's tech landscape through inclusivity and opportunity. These efforts are aimed at fostering inclusive economic growth and offering opportunities to underrepresented communities. And with an invitation to Tech Chicago Week, she  emphasizes the importance of collaboration within the tech sector and movement that’s elevating Chicago's status as a hub for diverse tech talent.
