Lessons in Tech and the Two-Way Street of Mentorship with AWS’s Melissa Dougherty

As part of our Women Leaders in Technology (WLIT) series on The AI Forecast, we’re joined by Melissa Dougherty, Global Managing Director of Partner Sales, Financial Services at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Each quarter, we’ll take a break from the regularly scheduled AI programming on The AI Forecast to direct our attention to this important topic in tech. 

Melissa shares her unconventional journey in the tech industry, including how her biggest career opportunity taught her the greatest lesson. She also touches on the bi-directional nature of mentorship, the need for accountability, and the significance of stepping out of comfort zones.
