A leader in diversity and inclusion, Rita Kakati-Shah excelled in her career in the corporate world of financial services and made multiple career moves before starting her family. Ask about her most challenging role and she will tell you: being a mother. When she re-entered the workforce, she realized the unfortunate journey that so many women and mothers face: employers only asking about the gap in her resume rather than her exceptional experience. Cue her company, Uma. Uma is an international platform that empowers women around the globe to challenge the status quo, and break the mold to achieve their career and lifestyle dreams. Her company works with like-minded employers to create opportunities that match the credentials and lifestyle goals of women around the world.
