Message from Founder, Asha Saxena

WLDA was created because of my passion for data and AI, and my desire to see more women in the field. I believe that mentorship and peer-to-peer feedback is the best way for women to learn from and uplift each other for the betterment of all.

Since its creation, WLDA has been a place to build authentic connections and lifelong relationships that bring members success, learning, and a direction in which to pay it forward.

What Client Say About Us

Julia Bardmesser Former SVP, Head of Data, Architecture & Salesforce Development, Voya Financial

"While I have been part of many women leadership groups and forums in the industry, WLDA is an exceptional concept in my experience. It's exceptional because it's highly structured and this structure creates an environment that is incredibly effective in providing professional support and emotional sustenance to its members. Women I met through WLDA are remarkable- the lived experience, professional and personal, depth of intellect, and willingness to bring their best selves forward to support each other creates a tremendous experience every time we meet."

Sandy Estrada Vice President, Analytics & Information Management, Cervello

"WLDA fosters a welcoming environment that encourages the exchanges of ideas and provides a community where you can get diverse perspectives as well from professionals outside of your organization. And for me, this aspect alone is quickly just helped me further build up my self-assurance and confidence. It empowered me to engage with individuals outside of my usual professional circles in a way that historically I've been challenged with. I think this little aspect alone has quickly improved my networking skills, but also opened doors to valuable opportunities and networking collaborations that I obviously in the past had struggled to get to."

Besa Bauta Chief Information Office, Jewis Board of Family and Children's Services

"WLDA provides an opportunity for women in data science and analytics to share experiences and lessons learned on navigating projects, teams, organizations and careers"

Laura Ellis Vice President, Data Engineering and Platform Analytics, Rapid7

"What I really like about WLDA is because it's a great space to find other women and data leaders who might do jobs very similar to my own. And typically for us at any given company, there's usually only one of us. And so this is a great place to engage with others who are doing a similar job or something in the same space so that we can talk about the projects that we're working on, the challenges we're facing, and hear their unique perspective. And it helps us to get sort of that 360 view of the problem and look at things in a way you maybe never would have thought about. "

Cindi Howson Chief Data Strategy Officer, ThoughtSpot

“I am so grateful to have met so many bright minds in the last two years. Powerful women who have grit, intellect, who love data, math, AI. So, I'm not such a geek. And I think about the camaraderie, the vision, the mission of WLDA. And that is what keeps me inspired. I love the collaboration.”
