Aparna Balasubramanian, Senior Director, Software Engineering at GoTo
“As technology evolves, the AI-first era redefines how industries operate, compete, and grow. No longer confined to IT, AI now shapes strategy and resilience across the business ecosystem. Yet acceleration must be matched with intention; progress without strong security commitments and accountability for our shared resources is not transformation—it is risk.
At GoTo, we are building an inclusive environment where empathetic leadership and diverse perspectives drive the next wave of enterprise solutions. True innovation demands more than technical depth; it requires a culture where talent, stewardship, and collaboration create meaningful impact. It is about influence—ensuring diverse thinkers are architecting scalable systems, advancing AI-led automation, and strengthening cybersecurity.
This International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to keeping talent at the centre of progress—because the future we engineer will be defined not only by models, but by the values and inclusive leadership behind them.”
