What people say about us
“Ascend has empowered me to bring my whole self to everything I do. Not only has the organization given me multiple platforms to lead and add value, it also offers an incredible network of people to connect with and learn from.”
Bhavika Jagoowani
Talent Partner, Element AI“In a time of unprecedented change and increasing competition, developing and enabling
diverse leaders is critical for modern organizations to thrive. Fostering diversity and inclusion
is one of the best ways organizations can disrupt themselves – I call it disrupting with
diversity. In technology, diversity is especially critical to spark new ideas and drive creativity.”
