I'm Rocki Howard and I'm not only your host, but I am proud to be Chief Diversity Officer at SmartRecruiters. 

In honor of Black History Month, this is the third episode of our four part  Black Leadership Series sponsored by SmartRecruiters. Today’s guest is my colleague, Frances Ibe.

Frances is SmartRecruiters' VP of Product Management.

She has a Bachelor's Degree in Multimedia Design and Technology and an Executive MBA from the London School of Business.

Frances' story shows us the incredible things that happen when introverts share their voice.

In this episode, Frances talks about bucking cultural norms, dealing with and breaking stereotypes, the positive impact that recognition and allyship have had on her career and the sacrifices she has made to achieve success.

Frances says "the more diversified leadership can look like. the more we can show to our younger generations that there are lots of opportunities out there, and they can be whoever they want to be, and achieve whatever they want to be. And that's really important to me."

Inspiring others is an important goal for this podcast and that’s' why I am grateful to have Frances as a Voice of Black Leadership.
