Naomi Aldred on her journey to leadership, Salesforce in South East Asia, being vulnerable and creating opportunities for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing (HoH) community

In today's episode, Ben Duncombe is joined by Naomi Aldred, Managing Director @ Accenture and Head of Salesforce Business Group for Southeast Asia.

Naomi talks through her early career, and how she found her way into sales and then into the Salesforce ecosystem. She discusses leadership styles, how the Salesforce market has evolved and the increased need for cross-cloud expertise, what she does in her current role, the people she leads, the countries they cover, and how doing business differs from country to country.

Naomi then shares insight on becoming an active member of the d/Deaf and hard of hearing (HoH) community and talks through her approach to sharing her journey online. She explains some incredibly difficult decisions she has had to make along the way as well as the triumphs, and how we can all lean into being supportive friends and colleagues.

Finally, she talks about Deaf4Devs, an amazing initiative Naomi has launched at Accenture that is creating opportunities for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing (HoH) community.
