Finding Inclusion & Career Opportunity at Confluent

Meshach Cisero, Senior Manager of Growth Marketing at Confluent, describes a career path from consulting, agencies, and hospitality marketing into technology, where he developed SQL and data-analysis skills and sought to contribute to greater racial representation in Silicon Valley. After joining Confluent remotely, he found an inclusive workplace culture, earned a promotion within his first year, and became a leader in Blackfluent, the company’s Black employee resource group. He highlights Blackfluent and its Wakanda subgroup as spaces for Black employees to discuss personal and community issues, build relationships, and find support through activities ranging from professional networking to informal virtual gatherings. Cisero connects his ERG leadership to his experiences as a first-generation Black student at a predominantly white university and to his longstanding involvement in multicultural and Black student organizations. In growth marketing, he has progressed from signup acquisition to product activation, customer research, pricing interviews, onboarding initiatives, and collaboration with product teams, valuing the role’s broad scope and strategic flexibility. He views Confluent’s data-focused products and continued growth as opportunities for further innovation, professional challenge, and advancement.
