Ep 13: A Conversation On Trusting The Organic Path: How U.S. Air Force Veteran Tiana Clark Transitioned from Teacher to Tech Leader & Cultural Change Agent

Today’s episode features Tiana Clark. When I had the chance to speak with Tiana for Black Women Talk Work, she was a Sales Enablement Leader at Microsoft, however she was very recently promoted to Microsoft 365 Marketing Director for Enterprise Commercial.   Tiana completed her B.S. in Political Science from the University of Maryland and her M.S. in Educational Leadership from St. Mary’s University. She is also a Diversity and Inclusion leader at Microsoft and the larger Chicago community, as well as the Creator and Executive Producer of Soci Circle, an award-winning web series that focuses on sparking D&I conversations amongst tween girls.    Listen as we discuss how Tiana charted her own career path from the U.S. Air Force, to rising through the ranks working in Army CounterIntelligence, to teaching middle school history, and now being a Marketing and D&I leader in the Tech Industry. We’ll also discuss the impact of starting D&I conversations at an earlier age for young girls, potentially laying a stronger foundation for navigating this topic later in life and in the workplace.
