    Thank you @Flavia De Paula Cau for sharing your experience with enterprise computing. One thing I really liked about Flavia's experience was that she started her journey to IBM through a third party agency. To me, this proves that to improve our tech skills, or to make impact in the industry we can start small, and see our efforts produce great results later. ​

    In this session I was able to contact people from other parts of the world. I really think it's good to have a networking, because you can learn about their perspectives and how to improve our skills, and even look for job opportunities. And also, it is exciting when someone like Flavia shares her own experience. Thanks for  this session!

    Flavia's panel gave some good insights on working for IBM. I'm also grateful for the opportunity to talk to her and several IBM z captains in the breakout rooms to learn more about their experiences with the IBM Z ambassador program.

    Very interesting and what I liked the most was the career shifting Flavia did inside IBM and how she is still interested in her role.
