Mya Elango

Mya joined The Commons after receiving fourteen nominations for our International Women’s Day scholarship, described by friends and colleagues as kind, smart, bold and innovative - an excellent reflection of The Commons community. She was looking to explore new opportunities and explore making a pivot from healthcare consulting. Through The Commons, she honed her technical skills like SQL and analysis, and under the coaching of her mentor Ananya, built confidence to apply for roles in tech. She was keen to find an opportunity at a company that was making a positive impact, and connected with Brody - another mentor at The Commons - who happens to be the VP of Operations at Flashfood. A few short weeks later, she was setting into her role on his team as an Optimization Lead.

Kareem was a very dedicated mentor who went above and beyond to make sure you're getting the most out of the Sprint... It was such a great experience. I'm glad I took the leap to take my first Sprint !

I came to The Commons with very little experience applying SQL. 100% worth the investment - plus the community is amazing.

No exaggeration, The Commons was one of the most important parts in my pivot to tech. Not sure I could have done it without the program and the advice from Imran, my mentor.

One of the many reasons why I joined The Commons was because of the network but little did I know, it’s actually a community! People are always willing to help; whether it’s sharing resources, introductions, referrals, interview prep, or career advice. I’m so glad that The Commons has welcomed me with open arms!

The Commons is where world-class operators intentionally learn and grow together. Starting out completely non-technical, I was able to incubate and supercharge my budding skillsets in data, product, and growth. In fact, I loved the learning experience so much that I did 4 different programs.

Reflecting back on the Strategy + Operations Sprint, I learned so much and made some great new connections. In particular, I enjoyed doing the case deep dive, learning tech terminology and what it would be like working at a marketplace company.

I’ve been super impressed with The Commons. The Strategy & Operations and Strategic Finance Sprints exposed me to different approaches and ways of thinking that immediately translated to the projects I’ve been tackling at work. Between the workshops, speakers, teammates, and mentors, I’ve found the experience to be so so valuable. Grateful to be part of such a talented group of like-minded and helpful professionals.
