Show Notes

Deciding to take a break in your career, parenting during the uncertain times of adolescence, and maintaining equal parenting responsibilities. Rama tells us how she manages to keep work, family, friends, and personal interests well balanced.

 

Rama Sridhar is Executive Vice-President, Asia Pacific of Mastercard, where she establishes digital partnerships and develops new payment flows and products. Rama leads a team of ~50 technologists, business and finance professionals to create the future, including crypto-funded cards. Recently, she was recognized as Innovator of the Year in the Women in IT Summit & Award Series. 

 

With over 30 years of financial and technology experience, Rama shares with us the ups and downs of her experience taking a career break. We examine how the relationships with children transform as they grow, and discuss guiding a teenager through the intense emotions of self-exploration. Rama emphasizes honest conversations, alignment in schedules and shared values as key pillars to harmony and equality in the family.
