At nCino, we have a lot of talented women in leadership positions. To celebrate International Women's Day, we asked a few women we admire across the company for their advice on growing as a female leader in what is often a male-dominated industry.

nCino’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are organic, employee-led groups with a focus on building community and belonging among employees and providing resources to the broader nCino community. These groups also focus on recruiting diverse talent, encouraging professional and leadership development, mentoring and community outreach. Each ERG includes executive sponsorship and a connection to the Diversity and Inclusion Council. In this series, we’re excited to offer a deeper dive into the members and goals of each ERG. This month, in celebration of Black History Month, we’re highlighting The Diaspora.
