Accepting Vulnerability as a Leadership Differentiator not Deterrent with Avani Desai
As part of our Women Leaders in Technology (WLIT) series on The AI Forecast, we’re joined by Avani Desai, CEO of Schellman, a leading cybersecurity firm. Each quarter, we’ll take a break from the regularly scheduled AI programming on The AI Forecast to direct our attention to this important topic in tech.
Avani shares her journey from a curious kid in Orlando who loved to tinker with technology to becoming a leader in cybersecurity. She reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped her career, like her 15-year journey to accept vulnerability as a means of connection, not failure. She also shares how her leadership style—rooted in empathy, authenticity, and radical transparency (e.g., her “eye-to-eye with Desai” meetings with employees where no question is off limits)—has helped her build trust, inspire teams, and drive innovation.
