Sneha Narahalli is a technology
leader who is driving the transformation of the industry through
innovative and simple product development. Her upbringing in India
was in a family of writers, with both her parents being notable
literary figures, and she has always utilized her creativity to
achieve targeted outcomes. After moving to the United States to
pursue her master's degree at Carnegie Mellon University a decade
ago, she has been leading the development of next-generation
strategies for companies such as Sears, Walmart, and Sephora. She
is currently responsible for overseeing all aspects of product
development, including digital, physical stores, data, and
marketing technology at Sephora.
Despite being an introvert and having to adapt to a new
culture, Sneha has managed to
stay true to her authentic self while also increasing her
efficiency and output by learning and unlearning. She strongly
believes that the first step in effecting change is to raise
awareness of the basic biases that women face in any environment,
and she is committed to working together to overcome these biases
and ultimately eradicate them. Sneha recognizes the power of the written word and
intends to utilize it to create a positive impact.
