A Night for Sales and Operations Professionals featuring Flexport's Women Leaders
After partnering with Flexport, the innovative company that's combining advanced technology and data analytics, logistics infrastructure, and supply chain expertise to revolutionizing global trade, we were super excited to reunite for a new event, this time in New York City.
This intimate evening for skilled professionals working in sales and operations took place on September 10th at Flexport's inviting New York office and was hosted by PowerToFly CEO Milena Berry. As our guests arrived, they had a chance to network with their peers and members of the Flexport team while enjoying complimentary (and delicious!) food and refreshments.
<p>Things kicked off with a warm keynote address by Flexport's <strong>Kara Shapiro</strong>, Senior Manager of Accounts, who then joined our informative panel of Flexport women leaders that also included <strong>Thea Dolan</strong>, Global Operations Manager; <strong>Maryana Kessel</strong>, Senior Global Account Executive; and <strong>Jessica Tissera</strong>, Sales Development Manager. After answering some questions from Milena, our four speakers dedicated the rest of their time to taking questions from the audience. </p><p>Before the night moved back into networking, our guests received a special treat. Using their gifted Flexport notebooks and pens, Program Manager <strong>Bri Lopez </strong>walked our attendees through an insightful activity about "crafting your job", geared at identifying the tasks (and teammates) that both give and detract from your work energy. (By the way, if you'd like a copy of Bri's presentation, please email events@powertofly.com)</p><p>Here's what one attendee had to say about the event: <em>"Thank you and PowerToFly for organizing such a welcoming and informative event at Flexport tonight. I came away feeling energized and enthusiastic about my search for my next role. It is uplifting to see first hand that companies do exist where mind-blowing, technology-enabled customer service, collaboration and problem solving are core values that are lived by the leaders and the teams every day!"</em></p><p>If you are interested in learning more about Flexport, including their open roles, just visit their <a href="https://powertofly.com/companies/flexport-inc?utm_source=Maropost&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Flexport&utm_content=FlexportSept2019" target="_blank">page on PowerToFly.</a> </p>

Flexport and PowerToFly Discussed "Tech for Good" in San Francisco
On July 24th, PowerToFly partnered with Flexport, the innovative company combining advanced technology and data analytics, logistics infrastructure, and supply chain expertise, to present a very intimate, invite only evening for senior women tech leaders in San Francisco.
Held at the lovely Monroe, this mini-retreat focused on how tech can be used for the greater good while also allowing for both our invited guests and Flexport speakers to share their own personal career journeys, discuss the impact of diversity and inclusion on tech and to network with likeminded skilled tech professionals.
After ample networking time over food and drinks, PowerToFly CoFounder Milena Berry kicked off the night by introducing Susy Schöeneberg, Head of Flexport.Org, to deliver the night's opening remarks, sharing how Flexport is making global trade easier for everyone. Then, our attendees formed smaller breakout sessions, each lead by a Flexport leader that, in addition to Susy, included Elaine Teoh, VP Engineering, Experiences; Madison Bell, Senior Product Operations Manager; Becca Ling, Product Design Manager; and Geoff Smalling, Vice President, Product Management; to share what products and companies they think are examples "tech for good".
As our brainstorming sessions wrapped up, the whole room came together to share their collected findings and continue the conversation as a larger group. This insightful evening wrapped up with plenty of more opportunities for our guests to network before calling it a night.
