Today on Girlboss Radio, Avery is joined by LaDavia Drane, the head of Global Inclusion, Diversity & Equity at Amazon Web Services. Her career is nothing short of impressive, spanning law, politics, and tech. LaDavia has been a longtime leader and champion of removing barriers for underrepresented communities and cultivating equitable spaces.
Previously, LaDavia worked as a law associate, then transitioned to public policy and politics. She worked as a Chief of Staff in Congress, and even served on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
LaDavia and Avery chat about big career pivots and how to make your mark at a large company. Plus, LaDavia has some great advice for anyone who's itching to switch industries.
