She has assisted me with growing my career in tech, growing my organization (Blacks In Technology), fundraising, investing, and more. I can honestly say I have not ran across anyone like her in my 20+ years in tech." and "I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ayori since 2017 on the Salesforce Platform PMM team, and I can't speak highly enough of her skills and dedication.
