Have you ever had a workquake? Ejieme Eromosele, GM for the EMEA business at Quiq and founder of Success in Black, shares her experience in this month’s episode of Breaking the Tech Ceiling.

The resources below are a testament to our extremely illuminating discussion. I was particularly intrigued by what the then President of @The NY Times @Tom Thomson said to her, what she learned about doing business in #China, and how as an experiment 🧪 she volunteered herself personally to take on a renewals and expansion quota while the CSMs under her purview continued to be measured on delivering value to #customers.

By proactively taking on more #revenue responsibility, I can see how her executive team would see Ejieme as someone to trust and promote. In our interview, Ejieme also shares her journey in #angelinvesting and a few organizations to research if you are interested in supporting #diversity in #venturecapital.
