People interested in the tech sector are being told they need to be mobile.
One of the speakers at the WeTech Alliance-Chamber of Commerce technology showcase at the Caboto Club earlier this week was Windsor-native Lillian Reaume.
She is now Director of Human Resources at Amazon.
Reaume says the community is far different than when she was a business graduate from the University of Windsor.
"In fact I'm just surprised overall for tech," says Reaume. "The Windsor I left is not the Windsor I see today, this has been hugely inspiring, the interest is inspiring. It's been a change, it's been amazing."
Reaume says she needed to be mobile for her own objectives.
"I knew I couldn't pursure my career goals here. I knew I had to leave to companies that had bigger jobs and that was the sad part, because I didn't really want to leave and then I came back and then I left again because I knew my career was going to plateau if I stayed," says Reaume.
The panel also included IBM Vice President Cognitive Solutions Debbie Landers and GM global Manager Partner Relations Daphne Jacobs Zargar.
Reaume is a graduate of Kennedy High School and earned an MBA at the University of Windsor in 2000.
