About
Mahdis

I define success as the ability to work towards meaningful goals that resonate with my values, and having the opportunity to make a tangible impact on others' lives. My career in diversity and inclusion is driven by the vision to create environments where success is determined by talent and hard work rather than background. I strive to foster a culture that values continuous learning and inclusive practices, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive.

Leadership is not command and control.

Great Leaders care.

The future of leadership is empowerment.

When I think of a leader, I think of Oana, one of my former line managers.

Monica Stancu

HeadlineTopic1 HeadlineTopic1

Monica maintains a healthy work-life balance through a disciplined routine, incorporating exercise, healthy eating, and sufficient sleep. As a diversity and inclusion expert, her work brings her purpose and meaning, helping her stay positive and engaged. Monica practices boxing, barre, and yoga at least twice a week to keep physically fit and mentally resilient. Additionally, she continuously learns new skills, such as taking French classes, and mentors young women, ensuring a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.

One of the biggest challenges Monica faced in her career was her background as an immigrant. With limited connections and access to information in a new country, she had to be creative and proactive. Monica used social media to connect with leaders in her field and understand the landscape, opening many opportunities. Her perseverance and innovative approach to building a network and navigating a new environment highlight her resilience and determination. These experiences have shaped her understanding of the importance of access and support for immigrants in the workplace.
