IEC Awards 2018 Finalist — Young Executive [Female]
Chondryma juggles many roles—diversity champion, industry mentor for TechGirls in secondary schools, IT project manager and multicultural ambassador. “Every woman tries to strike a balance of having a meaningful personal life while standing on the profit and loss curve of a great career,” says Chondryma.
Some excel within a short span but most lack confidence or persistence and end up funnelling themselves into roles which are not challenging enough. Chondryma chose to work towards empowering women thereby maintaining a 50-50 ratio of women in leadership positions in her firm.
Over the last 12 years, she has been working with Accenture to build strong client relationships, and generate revenue for the company, but most important, work with women leaders and executives.
Chondryma recently met with Opposition Leader Matthew Guy to discuss the lack of cultural diversity and representation of women from multicultural backgrounds in Australian business, politics, government, and civil society.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
