The First 3 Women at Vectara – Generating and Advancing a Culture of Success at an AI Startup

The first three women at Vectara, including the author, Felicia Jeffley, brought their experience and enthusiasm to the company, recognizing the importance of nurturing a culture of success for women. They were inspired by a McKinsey study on women in the workspace and decided to take action, creating initiatives such as an Anti-Burnout Program, Monthly Recognition Post, and Allyship meetings with the CEO. Their efforts aim to promote healthy work/life balance, visibility, and positive feedback, ultimately setting a positive precedent for future generations of women at Vectara.
