Woman of the Week - Maheen Mirza - Dell Technologies

In this week’s Woman of the Week, Community Leader Jacquie Rives sits down with Maheen Mirza, Senior Sales Director with Dell Technologies, to explore her remarkable journey from Pakistan to the U.S., and from launching a dot-com startup in her 20s to becoming a respected leader in the tech channel. Maheen shares how a chance encounter at a job fair jumpstarted her career, the lessons she learned leading through change, and why building strong networks has been the constant thread in her success. 

She opens up about facing imposter syndrome, the power of admitting when you don’t have all the answers, and how curiosity and continuous learning fuel her leadership style. Maheen also reflects on navigating the gender gap in technology—once being the only woman in the room—and why championing one another is essential to driving real change. 

Authentic, inspiring, and full of practical wisdom, Maheen’s story is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the impact of lifting others as you lead.
