Doria Manico-Daka, IT leader at Professional Engineers Ontario, recently spoke with Lee Rennick, host of CIO Leadership Live, Canada, about strides made for, and by, women in technology, and team-enabling leadership strategies to achieve wins for the organization.
As IT leader of self-regulatory body Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), Doria Manico-Daka continues to build on her 16 years in tech, the last five of which has seen her heavily involved in leading digital transformation and modernization. Throughout her career, industries and company sizes have varied, but there’s been one constant: environments have largely been male dominated. And as a Black woman, she’s had some unique experiences as a double minority. Against the odds, however, she’s excelled not only for herself but toward collective efforts to elevate the conversation of diversity, opportunity, and sourcing talent in, and for, the workplace.
