The WLI Women in Hardware Mentorship (WHM) program provides women the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and build a strong support network. Today, we are thrilled to introduce one of our outstanding mentees. Meet mentee Larisa Troyegubova, Senior Manager at Microchip Technology Inc. , shares her thoughts below. "Participating in the WHM program has been an invaluable experience for me. A kickoff event in January brought together passionate women leaders who are willing to learn and grow in a male-dominated industry. I was truly inspired by the team of Mentors who shared their career paths and challenges with us. Since then, I have been meeting with my Mentor and the Fireside Chat group to discuss essential topics like leadership profiles, motivating teams, executive communication, and more through the unique lenses of a female leader. Sharing our experiences, learning from one another, and building each other up are all part of our growth as Women Leaders in Hardware industry."
