“Jacqui is one of the most memorable external speakers we have had at Ansys. As well as being heavily involved in DEI&B efforts in her core role, she has a wealth of experience sponsoring and leading ERGs. Jacqui was able to leave our team with a much clearer understanding of what it means to be an ally. Hearing Jacqui speak to her own career journey and her challenges along the way was truly inspiring, and she left a lasting impact on all who attended the session. Thanks again, Jacqui!”
