Session 1: Meritocracy Alone Is Not Enough
(WIN - Women in NAAAP Facilitated - Sasha Said, Leerink Transformation Partners)

It is not enough to find a mentor, coach or sponsor; you have to build a strong, purposeful network. Sasha Said has succeeded in the male-dominated, competitive venture world, and will share what else matters beside meritocracy.
