Virtual Walk Talk Listen with Mai Ton (episode 79)

Mai Ton oversees the development and execution of Fabric’s people strategy.

She has built the entire people function at every company she has worked and has won over 14 awards for her previous companies.

She was named to the list of the Top 50 Most Powerful Women in Technology in 2019. Mai is a Board member of LEAP.org a non-profit organization that helps Asian Americans break the bamboo ceiling. She is an advisor to some of the newest HR technology software companies and shares her knowledge with others by speaking at various HR conferences.
