Woman of the Week - Ashwini Prasad Krishnamurthy - Cloudflare

In this inspiring edition of Woman of the Week, Jacquie Rives sits down with Ashwini Prasad Krishnamurthy, GSI Lead for APJC at Cloudflare and Women of the Channel advisory board member for Asia. Based in Singapore and originally from Bangalore, Ashwini shares her journey of leadership, risk-taking, and championing women in tech. 

A former headhunter with a knack for relationship-building, Ashwini brings a unique perspective on growth and leadership. She believes true leaders are those who ignite the spark in others—often before they see it in themselves—and cheer them on from the sidelines as they step into their own spotlight. 

Ashwini opens up about the boldest and most rewarding risk she continues to take: betting on herself. With candor and clarity, she reflects on the importance of being your own advocate, using your voice with intention, and pushing boundaries—even when it feels like leaping without a net. 

Her insights on the patterns that hold women back in the workplace—like waiting to be "ready" or hoping for others to advocate on their behalf—are powerful reminders to take ownership of our stories and step forward with confidence. 

This conversation is a must-watch for anyone seeking honest wisdom, actionable advice, and a dose of motivation to keep showing up, speaking up, and growing boldly.
