Lead with boldness: Gabriella Lio's journey from contributor to leader
Gabriella Lio leads the AI and Automation team as part of CGI’s Emerging Technology Practice and the CGI IT Academy’s data engineering program. Reflecting on her transition from an individual contributor to a leadership role, Gabriella shares how she navigated new responsibilities and challenges.
She emphasizes, “As women push further into traditionally male-dominated fields, we might be the only woman in the room. This can take a toll on your confidence and make you question if you belong, sometimes leading to imposter syndrome. I expressed these feelings to my boss, who gave me some phenomenal advice that has really changed my perspective. Instead of walking into the room with the attitude of ‘Do I belong?’ I now come in with a bold attitude of ‘Let me show you why I’m here.’ This has enabled me to speak up and show my value and the different perspectives I bring.”
Embrace lifelong learning: Brittany Sykes on expanding horizons
Brittany Sykes’ career has been profoundly shaped by her mother’s wisdom, who instilled in her the importance of continuous learning. Brittany believes that “the majority of learning throughout your life takes place outside of a classroom.”
After transitioning from a program control analyst to a client program management role at CGI, Brittany embraced the opportunity to expand her knowledge and skills. She says, “I have expanded my knowledge of international program management. I always take advantage of learning about the different services offered in various countries from my coworkers. I’m proud that I’ve become a trusted source for financial guidance. I would encourage all CGI Partners to take opportunities to learn something new regardless of their age or experience.”
