Ep. 32 - Women in Process: Josèphe Blondaut and Gabriela Galic

Even given the fact that we are living in the 21st century, it is interesting to see that the percentage of women who studied technology or worked in the process industry actually decreased over time. Which is a sad state of affairs. So the question now is, how we -as an industry- can add more diversity and pick the brain pool of intelligent female professionals. In this episode of the What’s Your Baseline podcast we speak with two women who have taken things into their own hands and started their own initiatives to improve this situation. Josèphe leads the ARIS Product Marketing team at Software AG, dealing with all topics around ARIS from global marketing campaigns, social media, public relations, events to “simple” release activities. She is also a newly certified as a Sustainability Manager from the Cambridge University, Institute of Sustainable Leadership, and wants to make things move forward here too. And last but not least, she founded and leads a regional sustainable gourmet food business from the greater #saarlorlux region available onsite in Saarbrücken, Germany and online here: www.saar-lor-deluxe.com. In addition to this she also runs two podcasts/shows about “Passion for Process” and “Women in BPM”. Gabriela is a Manager at Deloitte in NYC and is leading Process Mining projects, educating junior process mining talents, and identifying optimization potentials with process mining. She is so excited about process mining that she founded a new community “Women in Process Mining”, which targets women, girls and female leaders who work, study or research in the field of process mining. We are talking about these topics: Josephe’s and Gabriela’s background Gabriela’s “Women in Process Mining” and Josephe’s “Women in BPM” initiative initiatives Their motivations and how things got started The experience they have in interacting with their audience What it takes to build a community and where they go from here You can find Josèphe on LinkedIn here: Josèphe Blondaut | LinkedIn.
