International Women’s Day is more than a moment—it’s a movement. This year’s theme, March Forward for All Women and Girls, reminds us that progress comes from action, not just aspiration.
At BizCubed, inclusivity is embedded in how we work. Everyone’s voice is heard, and everyone has the opportunity to lead. Whether it’s applying for a project lead role or sharing ideas directly with management, our culture is built on valuing diverse perspectives.
We believe that investment in people means broadening opportunities, which is one reason why we practice team rotation—giving employees experience across operational roles at BizCubed and within client-focused teams. This approach ensures that everyone gains the skills and exposure needed to grow their careers.
IWD is also about celebrating the achievements of women in our team. Today, we’re highlighting Marcela Mejia Ortiz, who shares her perspective on workplace equality, professional growth, and what International Women’s Day means to her.
