She Left IBM and Stepped in to Leadership for Women | EP 282
The Doers Nepal – Nepal’s Longest Running Business Podcast
Most people think success means staying where everyone dreams to be. But what if walking away from your dream job is the first step toward real leadership?
In this episode, Rosha Pokharel, Founder of SolvDat and former Lead Data Scientist at IBM Watson, shares her journey from being a math lover in Nepal to leading global AI projects and then leaving it all to create a new chapter for women in leadership.
In this conversation, Rosha reveals:
Why being a “good girl” has cost women more opportunities than lack of talent ever did
How she scaled from Data Scientist at IBM to Director of AI in a Fortune 25 company
The 4 pillars every AI project must follow to avoid the 90% failure rate
The most important skill women must develop to thrive in leadership
Why women should stop settling in seats built for men and start building their own
Whether you are a student, professional, or dreamer curious about AI, leadership, and empowerment, this episode will challenge how you think about success, courage, and breaking barriers.
