“Our Women Worth Watching in STEM are high-performing,
purpose-driven leaders who create value for other women and for the
organizations where they contribute their talents,” said Profiles
in Diversity Journal® publisher, James R. Rector. “We are honored
to feature these 23 impressive women in STEM, including Vineeta
Puranik, who have distinguished themselves through hard work and
determination. Each year, the honorees continue to prove that the
sky's the limit for women in these traditionally male dominated
fields and for the young women who are considering entering the
field. Congratulations to Vineeta, and thank you to SmartBear for
nominating her and honoring her contributions to the field of
STEM.”
Vineeta’s career in software engineering spans over two decades.
Specializing in CI/CD pipelines, multi-shore development, and
Agile-to-DevOps workflows, she has led teams through the entire
lifecycle of delivering innovative products to market. Known for
strong execution that delivers impactful business outcomes, Vineeta
prioritizes people, retention, and training teams in modern,
changing technologies and giving them the appropriate tools for
success.
“Increasing diversity in STEM is crucial to foster innovation,
enhance problem-solving skills, and ensure equitable access to
opportunities for all,” said Vineeta Puranik. “From an early age, I
was always encouraged to study math and science by parents who were
excellent role models, and post-graduate, I was fortunate to have
exceptional mentors who opened opportunities for me. I have always
prioritized offering encouragement and support for women to help
build important collaborative and supportive networks. Closing the
gender gap in STEM is a multifaceted challenge that requires
concerted effort and support from various stakeholders.”
