Why Taking Risks Are the Best Thing You Can Do for Your Career With Dimple Thomas

Power of Why with Naomi Haile

Dimple Thomas wants you to embrace the opportunity in uncertainty.

As an Engineering Manager in Ericsson’s Cloud RAN Systems-DevOps, she does just that—with an eye to creating a high-speed, -bandwidth and low latency future where Zoom calls might be replaced by life-sized holograms of your loved ones.

Committed to building systems that truly serve everyone, Dimple has also dedicated herself to empowering diverse leaders to succeed in tech as Theme Driver of Diversity and Inclusion at Ericsson.

Dimple shared why she’s never charted her career path, why you should take risks at work, and tech’s potential for transformational good.
