WOMEN IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The Women in Project Management group has been hard at over work getting ready for our Fall events. Our September meeting will focus on how to better utilize Linked In, with plenty of time built in to network and increase your own contacts.
Linked In….we probably all use it in some way, but are you using it effectively? Would you like to learn more about how to increase your presence on Linked In and improve your personal brand?
We’ve invited several area experts to participate in a panel discussion – Andrea Krueger, Director, People & Culture Initiatives at Pittsburgh Technology Council; Brad Rowley, Managing Partner at Vaco Pittsburgh; Daniela Beck, power-user of Linked In; and Olivia Waldron, recruiter at BNY Mellon.
Andrea Krueger Bio: As Director of People & Culture Initiatives at the Pittsburgh Technology Council (PTC), Andrea uses her outgoing personality and ability to connect with people to develop authentic relationships and create meaningful programs, opportunities, and experiences within her network and beyond. She leads people and culture services for the 1110+ member companies of Pittsburgh Technology Council, a non-profit association dedicated to the growth and development of technology companies and technology innovation in the region.
Brad Rowley Bio: As a Managing Partner of Vaco Pittsburgh, Brad focuses on the strategic vision for Vaco’s Practice and Contract and Contingent Recruiting services and developing meaningful relationships in the greater Pittsburgh area. His personal and business philosophy is rooted in relationships first, not transactions. Outside of the office, he enjoys anything to do with the outdoors.
Daniela Beck Bio: Daniela is currently a senior at Chatham University pursuing a dual degree in Management Information Systems and International Business. Previously, she has completed three different internships in sectors ranging from manufacturing to financial services. Her LinkedIn combines this wide set of experiences through engaging yet personalized text posts, a weekly video series called #TechBookThursday, and articles talking with authors in the technology space. Through this, Daniela has been effectively been able to help a community of over 2,600 students and professionals across the world realize their potential!
Olivia Waldron Bio: Olivia is currently a Program Manager for the Operations Campus Analyst Program with BNY Mellon. She has worked at BNY Mellon for almost 2 years and loves the work that she does!

She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Business and major in Marketing and International Business and minored in Spanish and studied abroad in Spain. Her career has taken her through many peaks and valleys, but she wouldn't change it for a thing.
