This month, WCT spoke with Jennifer Refvik of TELUS on her career trajectory from university student to her current role as the telecommunications company's Director of Business Strategy Development. Jennifer has spent over 20 years with TELUS and has contributed greatly to the organization's maturity by continuously digitizing materials, reducing costs, streamlining delivery and exceeding customer expectations.

For nearly 30 years, Women in Communications and Technology has been a leader in advocating the benefits of gender equality in the workplace. The business case for the greater inclusion of women in Canada's digital sector is straightforward and compelling: Diverse companies outperform, are better governed and are more innovative companies than homogenous ones. 

WCT sat down with Dr. Nur Zincir-Heywood, computer scientist, to talk all things gender diversity, academia, and taking risks in the workplace.

WCT: Can you share a little bit about what you do? What does a typical day in the lab look like for you?

Erin Faulkner is Senior Manager, Monitoring & Triage at RBC. She sat down and chatted with WCT and shared challenges and successes from her career journey.
