International Women’s Month is a time to reflect, recognize, and celebrate the women who shape our workplaces, industries, and experiences every day.
At Glance, we are proud to have talented women across product, engineering, customer success, marketing, and beyond on our team. Their stories highlight not only individual accomplishments, but also the shared values that drive meaningful work forward: curiosity, resilience, empathy, and a commitment to growth.
We asked a few team members to share their perspectives on career journeys, leadership, and what continues to inspire them.
Progress isn’t always loud
Not every career-defining moment comes with a title change or a major milestone.
Sometimes, it looks like solving a problem that no one else has tackled yet.
For Sareth Kang, that moment came early in her career when she identified a recurring issue between customers and sales and created a process that is still in use today.
It’s a reminder that impact doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. Often, it’s the small, thoughtful improvements that create lasting change.
That same mindset shows up across teams at Glance, where progress is often driven by people who notice what others overlook and take action.
Growth doesn’t follow a straight line
One theme that continues to come up across conversations is how nonlinear career growth really is.
Sareth shared that she made a career change later than some might expect, guided by intuition and a desire to work more closely with customers. That decision required risk, but also clarity about what mattered most.
Her advice to others is to trust that instinct and be willing to take risks when something doesn’t feel right.
Careers evolve. Interests change. And sometimes the most important step forward is trusting your instincts, even when the path isn’t obvious.
Leadership starts with listening
Strong leadership doesn’t always mean having the loudest voice in the room.
More often, it means knowing when to listen.
Sareth focuses on learning from people in different roles and staying open to new perspectives. That openness creates stronger collaboration and better outcomes, especially in environments where customer needs are constantly evolving.
Deb Breen, Senior Enterprise Program Lead, echoed a similar idea, emphasizing how much she learns directly from customers and the real-world challenges they’re solving every day.
In customer experience, listening is more than a leadership skill. It is the foundation for building products and solutions that truly meet people where they are.
Curiosity is a competitive advantage
In fast-moving industries like technology and customer experience, standing still isn’t an option.
Nadine Long, VP of Marketing, puts a strong emphasis on continuous learning, whether that’s staying on top of industry trends, digging into new areas of the business, or asking her team for direct feedback.
That same curiosity shows up across the organization.
Deb finds growth through customer conversations and real-world use cases, using every interaction as an opportunity to learn something new.
Across teams, there’s a shared understanding that growth isn’t something that happens once. It’s something you commit to every day.
Nadine’s advice to women entering the field reflects the reality of modern marketing and technology is to be adaptable, keep learning, and stay close to the work.
That balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution is what drives both innovation and impact.
Why representation and equity matter
The importance of gender equity in the workplace came up in thoughtful and practical ways.
Sareth highlighted the need for workplaces where people feel safe sharing ideas and perspectives without fear of judgment.
As Nadine shared, even in B2B, you’re still connecting with people. And the more perspectives you bring into the room, the better you can understand and serve them.
That’s what makes representation so important. It’s not just about who’s at the table. It’s about what becomes possible when they are.
Gender equity isn’t just about fairness. It directly impacts how teams think, collaborate, and solve problems.
Moving forward, together
Celebrating International Women’s Month is important, but what matters more is what happens the rest of the year.
It’s about continuing to build environments where people feel supported, heard, and empowered to grow.
The women of Glance are doing that every day. They’re solving problems, supporting customers, and pushing the business forward in ways that are both visible and behind the scenes.
And if there’s one thing their stories make clear, it’s this:
Progress is rarely a straight line. But with curiosity, resilience, and the right support, it’s always moving forward.
