About this session

The women of PowerToFly and WomenInTech NY/NJ are excited to host a virtual "meet and greet" on Thursday April 16th from 6:00 - 7:00 pm EST.

Learn more about PowerToFly, get tips for using the platform, hear about all of the exciting new offerings we have in store for community members and more! You'll also get the opportunity to virtually network with some of the PowerToFly team members and ask them anything during a live Q&A.

The event will kick off with a welcome address by PowerToFly and conclude with virtual networking "ask and offer" session where you can introduce yourself to your peers on the call.

What is an "Ask and Offer" session, you ask?

This will be an opportunity for you to introduce yourself and include an "ask" you have for the community along with an "offer".

ie. My name is Lauren, I'm the Director of Marketing at PowerToFly, I'd love to get virtual coffee with someone next week to talk about new B2B marketing email strategies! In return, I'd like to offer the community my help in re-vamping any presentation deck that may need a visual tune-up!

Cathy Smith

Cathy Smith

Digital Business Transformation Consultant, Author

I am nicknamed “the digitizer,” in the banking industry. I pride myself on being highly effective at transforming traditional financial institutions into “digital adopters,” while growing the bottom line. I help well known financial institutions take commercial advantage of technology optimization. From strategy through to execution, I guide business leaders on how to overcome fundamental challenges, deliver real value, and accelerate revenue growth. To further bridge the digital knowledge gap, I recently published a book that is loaded with change management resources, it’s titled “How to Become a Digital Leader: A Roadmap to Success,” which is available on Amazon.com.

To further encourage digital adoption, in 2017 I launched Women in Tech NJ & NY (WIT) to educate managers and leaders on the emerging technologies.
