At Google, where she heads up the firm’s global inclusion programs for women of colour, she applies her affinity for investing in the growth and success of women by intentionally building community in settings where it may not occur organically.

Stephanie is the founder of Mother AI, a weekly AI learning journey series designed specifically for working parents and caregivers, and Parenting Backwards, which creates spaces and experiences for parents to develop parenting skills in the same way they develop their personal and professional skills.
