Janet Phan Bio:
Janet thrives in leading teams cross-functionally and cross-territory to implement lean process improvements, systems implementation, and drive implementation of executive-level initiatives for global Fortune 500 companies. Upon entering organizations and large projects, Janet has proven the ability to diligently assess and clearly communicate current challenges and propose changes to executives that have led to organizational improvements and successful technology program implementations. She's eternally grateful for mentors who have taken a chance on her by giving her the opportunities that she thought were beyond her capabilities. This led her to begin a nonprofit STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) mentoring program, Thriving Elements, creating access and opportunities for underrepresented girls in the same way her mentors did and continue to do for her.
